Abstract:
Prostatic abscess is an uncommon entity nowadays due to widely use of antibiotics, however, in some patients, because of the seriousness, a quick diagnosis and interventionist treatment is required. We report a case of a 78 year-old male patient who had a torpid evolution and needed an urgent prostatectomy. We review ethiopathogenic factors, clinical findings, diagnosis and treatment of this uncommon entity.
