| Summary: | Prostate abscess (PA) is an uncommon clinical manifestation that typically presents in the fifth to sixth decade of age and sporadically affects neonates. These characteristics, coupled with the atypical presentation, represent a clinical dilemma and a challenging diagnosis.

In this case report, we present a surgically confirmed PA, a diagnosis that is rarely encountered within the paediatric age group. |
