Granulomatous prostatitis (GP) is an unusual and benign inflammatory condition of the prostate, where autoimmunity has been recognized as a key factor in the pathogenesis of GP in a subset of patients. Clinically, GP poses diagnostic challenges as it may strongly mimic prostate cancer from a clinical, biochemical and radiological point of view. The occurrence of GP in patients suffering from psoriasis, a systemic autoimmune disease, has never been investigated. We describe the case of GP in a patient with psoriatic arthritis presenting with an increased prostate specific antigen level, and evidence of a nodular lesion visualized by prostate multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging, which was highly suspicious for aggressive prostate cancer.
肉芽肿性前列腺炎(GP)是一种不常见的前列腺良性炎症性疾病,在一部分患者中,自身免疫被认为是GP发病机制中的关键因素。临床上,GP带来了诊断挑战,因为从临床、生化和放射学角度来看,它可能与前列腺癌极为相似。银屑病作为一种全身性自身免疫性疾病,其患者中GP的发生情况从未被研究过。我们描述了一例患有银屑病关节炎的患者发生GP的病例,该患者前列腺特异性抗原水平升高,经前列腺多参数磁共振成像显示有结节性病变,高度怀疑为侵袭性前列腺癌。
