[Aspecific granulomatous prostatitis. Our experience]

The clinical and anatomopathological features of 7 personally observed cases of granulomatous prostatitis are described. The possibility of confusion between this pathology and cancer of the prostate is pointed out. This is particularly the case when the entire gland is inflammed and only bioptic examination will confirm the diagnosis. The symptoms mostly related to the cervicourethral obstruction, the diagnostic procedure and the treatment, prevalently medical, adopted in each are described.
