Abstract
Malakoplakia is a rare chronic inflammatory disease of genitourinary system. Malakoplakia of prostate may be present with prostatitis and acute urinary tract obstruction. Malakoplakia due to infection may cause high prostate specific antigen (PSA) values and gives hypoechoic image in transrectal ultrasound which is indistinguishable from prostate cancer. It is frequently misdiagnosed as a malign condition and histopathological examination is required for a definitive diagnosis. In this case report, we present a patient who presented to our hospital with prostatism symptoms and high PSA levels. Although primary clinical consideration was as prostate malignancy, this case was diagnosed as malakoplakia after histopathologic examination. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Helvetica; color: #6b6a6a}
Özet
p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Helvetica; color: #6b6a6a} Malakoplaki genitoüriner sistemin nadir görülen kronik inflamatuar bir hastalığıdır. Prostat malakoplaki prostatit ve akut üriner sistem obstrüksiyonu ile prezente olabilir. Malakoplaki enfeksiyon nedeniyle yüksek prostat spesifik antijen (PSA) değerlerine neden olabilir ve transrektal ultrasonda hipoekoik görüntü vererek prostat kanserinden ayırt edilemez. Sıklıkla malignite olarak yanlış tanı alır ve histopatolojik inceleme kesin tanı için gereklidir. Bu olgu sunumunda, biz prostatizm ve yüksek PSA düzeyleri ile hastanemize başvuran hastayı sunuyoruz. Birincil klinik düşünce prostat malignitesi olmasına rağmen, bu olguda histopatolojik incelemede malakoplaki tanısı konuldu.
