Özet

Granulomatous prostatitis, first described by Tanner and McDonald in 1943, is a histopathological diagnosis that includes mixed type inflammation with granulomas in the prostatic tissue. Granulomatous prostatitis comprises 0.8-1% of benign inflammatory conditions of the prostate. Prior surgery, intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin treatment, or systematic tuberculosis are some causes of granulomatous prostatitis. It mimics prostate cancer clinically, histologically, and biochemically. Granulomatous prostatitis has a specific and nonspecific type, with the nonspecific type being more common. In this study, we report a patient who had high prostate-specific antigen level and underwent transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy, and histologic examination revealed nonspecific granulomatous prostatitis.
