Six patients treated with intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) for superficial bladder cancer had granulomatous prostatitis demonstrated histologically by transperineal needle biopsy. Four of the six patients also underwent transrectal fine needle aspiration (FNA) for cytologic study. The diagnosis of granulomatous prostatitis was made cytologically in all four without knowledge of the histologic findings. Granulomatous prostatitis appears to be common following intravesical BCG treatment; these cases show that FNA cytology can be recommended as a method for diagnosing this complication.
6例接受卡介苗（BCG）膀胱灌注治疗浅表性膀胱癌的患者经会阴穿刺活检，组织学检查显示为肉芽肿性前列腺炎。其中4例患者还接受了经直肠细针穿刺抽吸（FNA）进行细胞学研究。在不知道组织学结果的情况下，对所有4例患者均通过细胞学诊断为肉芽肿性前列腺炎。卡介苗膀胱灌注治疗后肉芽肿性前列腺炎似乎很常见；这些病例表明，FNA细胞学可作为诊断这种并发症的一种方法。
