1St. Thomas Hospital, London, UK.
A case is described of a patient who developed a large pelvic haematoma after trucut biopsy of the prostate. He stopped bleeding following selective arterial embolization. No subsequent surgical intervention was required to drain the massive haematoma. The clinical features and management of these patients as well as the role of transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy are discussed.
