Prostatic Abscess a Diagnostic Dilemma

Abstract

Abscess of the prostate has become increasingly rare due to modern antibiotics and a decreasing incidence of gonococcal infections. It is still difficult to diagnose the disorder on clinical grounds. Diagnosis is often made after Ultrasound examination. We report 2 cases of prostatic abscess and review etiopathogenic factors, clinical findings, diagnosis and treatment of this uncommon entity.
