Prostatic tuberculosis is rare, presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms and abnormal prostate findings. Diagnosis requires histologic analysis after prostate resection, with treatment involving anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Prostatic tuberculosis is an uncommon condition.
  • It can mimic benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostate cancer.

Observation:

  • Two male patients, aged 59 and 62, presented with lower urinary tract symptoms.
  • Both exhibited abnormal prostate findings and elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels.
  • Initial prostatic biopsy results were negative for malignancy or infection.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis of prostatic tuberculosis was confirmed through histologic analysis of prostate tissue obtained via transurethral resection.
  • This highlights the diagnostic challenge in cases with negative initial biopsies.

Implications:
