Article Synopsis
- A 75-year-old man experienced severe urination problems, leading to a diagnosis of prostate cancer, which was later confirmed as xanthogranulomatous prostatitis after a biopsy showed distinct histopathological features.
- The patient's treatment included medications like Tamsulosin and glucocorticoids, along with temporary catheterization, resulting in a significant decrease in PSA levels and improved urination symptoms over 20 months.
- Xanthogranulomatous prostatitis is rare and confirmed through histopathology, and it's primarily managed with supportive care, while severe cases may require surgery like TURP, with ongoing PSA monitoring recommended.
