Xanthogranulomatous prostatitis is a rare, noncancerous inflammatory condition of the prostate that clinically resembles prostatic carcinoma, necessitating a pathological examination for accurate diagnosis.
A 75-year-old Egyptian male presented with urinary symptoms and an elevated serum prostate-specific antigen. Initial clinical and imaging findings suggested a locally advanced carcinoma of the prostate. However, histopathological examination after transurethral resection of the prostate revealed severe xanthogranulomatous prostatitis on a background of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Xanthogranulomatous prostatitis can present with symptoms and radiological findings and biochemical markers similar to those of prostatic carcinoma. Accurate diagnosis of xanthogranulomatous prostatitis requires a high level of suspicion and close collaboration with a pathologist.
黄色肉芽肿性前列腺炎是一种罕见的前列腺非癌性炎症性疾病，临床上类似于前列腺癌，需要进行病理检查以准确诊断。
一名75岁的埃及男性出现泌尿系统症状，血清前列腺特异性抗原升高。最初的临床和影像学检查结果提示为局部晚期前列腺癌。然而，经尿道前列腺切除术后的组织病理学检查显示，在良性前列腺增生的背景下存在严重的黄色肉芽肿性前列腺炎。
黄色肉芽肿性前列腺炎可表现出与前列腺癌相似的症状、影像学检查结果和生化指标。准确诊断黄色肉芽肿性前列腺炎需要高度的怀疑，并与病理学家密切合作。
