Abstract:
We report a rare case of prostatic abscess with Crohn's disease in a 21-year-old male. Computed tomography showed a typical prostatic abscess. Moreover, filling of the abscess cavities with contrast medium was demonstrated after micturition, which represented the rupturing of the abscess into the urethra. Crohn's disease should be included in the differential diagnosis of prostatic abscesses even in young males.
