| description | Blastomycosis is an endemic infection caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis, found primarily in the southeastern, south-central, and Midwest United States.

In order to better understand the clinical presentation, evaluation, and treatment of blastomycosis of the prostate, we present a 59-year-old male with urinary retention and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). |
