| description | Intravesical immunotherapy with attenuated strains of Mycobacterium bovis is a widely
used therapeutic option in patients with non-muscle-invasive transitional cell carcinoma of
the bladder. A rare complication of intravesical therapy with the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin
vaccine is granulomatous prostatitis, which due to increasing levels of prostate-specific
antigen and abnormalities found in transrectal examination of the prostate may suggest
concomitant prostate cancer. A case of extensive granulomatous prostatitis in a 61-year-old
patient which occurred after the first course of a well-tolerated Bacillus Calmette-Guérin
therapy is presented. Due to abnormalities found in rectal examination and an abnormal
transrectal ultrasound image of the prostate with extensive infiltration mimicking neoplastic
hyperplasia a core biopsy of the prostate was performed. Histopathological examination
revealed inflammatory infiltration sites of tuberculosis origin. |
