Tuberculous prostatitis, a rare condition, was diagnosed in a 55-year-old man presenting with prostatism. This case highlights the importance of considering tuberculosis in prostatic conditions, even without pulmonary involvement.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Tuberculous prostatitis is an uncommon manifestation of tuberculosis.
  • The condition can mimic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), leading to diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 55-year-old male presented with symptoms of prostatism.
  • Initial diagnosis was benign enlargement of the prostate (BEP).
  • Surgical exploration revealed a large cystic cavitation in the prostate.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination of the prostate tissue confirmed tuberculous granuloma.
  • The patient had no history or current evidence of pulmonary tuberculosis.
  • This represents a unique case report from Bangladesh.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the need for a high index of suspicion for tuberculous prostatitis in patients with prostatism, irrespective of pulmonary status.
  • Early diagnosis and appropriate anti-tubercular chemotherapy are crucial for favorable outcomes.
  • Further research may be warranted to understand the epidemiology of genitourinary tuberculosis in the region.
