Malacoplakia is a granulomatous inflammatory disorder clinically and ultrasonographically very similar to prostatic adenocarcinoma. Symptoms and physical findings are similar to prostatism and in half of the patients the differential diagnosis includes malignancy, mainly because of the presence of a hard nodule on digital rectal examination. Additionally, cases of malacoplakia can show hypoechoic nodes on transrectal ultrasound mimicking adenocarcinoma. We report a case of malacoplakia of the prostate with emphasis on its similarities and differences with prostate adenocarcinoma.
软斑病是一种肉芽肿性炎症性疾病，在临床和超声检查上与前列腺腺癌非常相似。症状和体格检查结果与前列腺增生相似，在半数患者中，鉴别诊断包括恶性肿瘤，主要是因为直肠指检时存在硬结节。此外，软斑病病例在经直肠超声检查中可显示低回声结节，类似于腺癌。我们报告一例前列腺软斑病病例，重点阐述其与前列腺腺癌的异同。
