Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Radiology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Genitourinary tuberculosis (GUTB) is a significant health concern, particularly in endemic regions like Taiwan.
  • Prostate involvement is an uncommon manifestation of GUTB, often presenting with non-specific symptoms.

Observation:

  • This report describes two confirmed cases of tuberculosis affecting the prostate gland.
  • The patients presented with symptoms that prompted diagnostic imaging.

Findings:

  • Computed tomography (CT) scans revealed specific findings indicative of prostate tuberculosis in both cases.
  • Detailed analysis of the CT images correlated with the pathological diagnosis.

Implications:

  • Understanding the CT imaging features of prostate tuberculosis is crucial for early diagnosis.
  • Accurate radiological interpretation can aid in differentiating tuberculosis from other prostatic pathologies, improving patient outcomes.
