Abstract

Xanthogranulomatous prostatitis (XGP) is an unusual case that can only be diagnosed on histopathological Examination. This lesion is of varied presentation, and often mimics malignancy and prostatic abscess on different diagnostic modalities like biochemical and radiological examinations. We are presenting a case of XGP in a diabetic patient who was suffering from a urinary tract infection and was suspected to be a case of carcinoma prostate on clinical, biochemical and radiological examinations.
