Xanthogranulomatous prostatitis: A case report

Xanthogranulomatous Prostatitis (XGP) is a rare benign inflammatory condition of the prostate. Patients typically present with lower urinary tract symptoms or elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. Differentiating XGP from prostate cancer (PCa) based solely on multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) findings remains challenging, as histopathological examination is the gold standard for definitive diagnosis. This case report describes a 57-year-old man diagnosed with XGP. Symptomatic remission was achieved following a 4-week course of antibiotic therapy combined with an alpha-blocker.
