A 62-year-old man presented with a Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) level of 9.89 ng/mL during routine screening. The clinical examination revealed lower urinary tract symptoms, along with a soft, bulging, painless mass in the left lobe of the prostate during digital rectal examination. Imaging confirmed the presence of a left latero-prostatic cystic formation with a low level of malignancy. A prostate biopsy indicated a benign prostatic parenchyma with no signs of malignancy. Medical treatment with alpha-blockers resulted in improved urinary symptoms, and follow-up monitored PSA levels at 3 and 6 months, recording 8.05 ng/mL and 6.87 ng/mL, respectively.
