Background:

  • Tuberculous prostatitis is an uncommon condition, often presenting as an incidental finding.
  • Diagnosis typically occurs post-operatively following transurethral prostatectomy.
  • Limited literature exists on the clinical presentation and management of this rare entity.

Observation:

  • Five cases of tuberculous prostatitis were identified.
  • Histologic examination after transurethral prostatectomy revealed the condition in all patients.
  • Patients presented with no specific symptoms indicative of prostatitis.

Findings:

  • All five patients received treatment with a standard antituberculous drug regimen.
  • The literature review supports the rarity and incidental nature of tuberculous prostatitis.
