Nonspecific granulomatous prostatitis (NSGP) often mimics prostate cancer on exams and PSA tests. Biopsy is essential for diagnosis, though NSGP may resolve over time with normalized PSA levels.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Nonspecific granulomatous prostatitis (NSGP) is an uncommon chronic prostate inflammation.
  • It is frequently misdiagnosed as prostate cancer due to clinical and imaging findings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review trans-rectal ultrasound (TRUS) findings and serum PSA levels in patients with biopsy-proven NSGP.
  • To assess the diagnostic challenges and natural history of NSGP.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 20 patients with biopsy-proven NSGP.
  • Analysis of digital rectal examination, TRUS, serum PSA levels, and follow-up data.

Main Results:

  • All patients presented with findings suggestive of malignancy.
  • TRUS revealed hypoechoic nodules mimicking carcinoma in the peripheral prostate zone.

  • Mean serum PSA was 13.3 ng/ml (range 3.5-34 ng/ml); only one patient had PSA < 4 ng/ml.
  • In a subset of patients with follow-up, PSA normalized and TRUS findings resolved over time.

    • Conclusions:

    • NSGP poses a diagnostic challenge, often mimicking prostate cancer.
    • Prostatic biopsy is definitive for NSGP diagnosis.
    • Further research is needed on NSGP's natural history, therapy, and relationship with prostate cancer.
