A rare case of non-specific granulomatous prostatitis mimicked cancer due to a hard prostate and urinary retention. Steroid therapy effectively resolved symptoms and improved prostate tissue pathology.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Non-specific granulomatous prostatitis is an uncommon inflammatory condition of the prostate gland.
  • It can present with symptoms that may mimic other prostatic diseases, including malignancy.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with acute urinary retention and high fever.
  • Digital rectal examination revealed a hard prostate, raising suspicion for prostate cancer.
  • Repeated prostate biopsy demonstrated granuloma formation with fibrinoid necrosis.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with non-specific granulomatous prostatitis.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed granuloma formation and fibrinoid necrosis.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering non-specific granulomatous prostatitis in the differential diagnosis of prostatic conditions presenting with obstructive symptoms and a hard prostate.
