A rare case of prostate tuberculosis after holmium laser enucleation of the prostate

Abstract

Prostatic tuberculosis is considered to be a rare disease. It is usually associated with nonspecific symptoms and is detected incidentally after prostatic histological analysis.We report the case of a 60-year-old man suffering from acute urinary retention with an estimated 90 g prostate who underwent Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate. The diagnosis of prostate tuberculosis was histological based on the analysis of prostate enucleation chips.The clinical course was favourable under anti-tuberculous drugs.
