Xanthogranulomatous Prostatitis Mimicking Prostate Carcinoma in A 78‐Year‐Old Male

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Prostate cancer is typically the leading diagnosis in patients with elevated PSA and abnormal digital rectal exam findings. Clinicians should consider mimickers such as xanthogranulomatous prostatitis in the differential diagnosis, particularly in cases with discordant PSA levels and imaging characteristics. A multidisciplinary approach integrating clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings is essential to avoid misdiagnosis and ensure accurate management.
