Inflammatory conditions of the prostate are often difficult to distinguish from early stages of prostate cancer with imaging techniques. The use of an endorectal surface coil in MRI of the prostate gland has been reported to provide superior resolution and better imaging of details than MRI with a body coil in the diagnosis of early prostate cancer. We report a 34-year-old patient with nonspecific non-granulomatous prostatitis in whom T2-weighted endorectal surface coil magnetic resonance imaging (ESCMRI) showed a region of markedly decreased signal intensity in the periphery of the gland. The low signal intensity of the lesion, its sharp demarcation from the normal part of the peripheral zone of the prostate and the marked bulge of the surface contour without capsular breach of the organ were interpreted as evidence of a bioptically proven benign inflammatory condition.
前列腺的炎症性疾病通常很难通过成像技术与前列腺癌的早期阶段区分开来。据报道，在前列腺MRI中使用直肠内表面线圈比使用体线圈的MRI在早期前列腺癌诊断中能提供更高的分辨率和更好的细节成像。我们报告一名34岁患有非特异性非肉芽肿性前列腺炎的患者，其T2加权直肠内表面线圈磁共振成像（ESCMRI）显示前列腺外周有一个信号强度明显降低的区域。病变的低信号强度、与前列腺外周带正常部分的清晰分界以及表面轮廓的明显隆起且器官包膜未破裂，被解释为经活检证实的良性炎症状态的证据。
