Article Synopsis
- - Prostatic malakoplakia (PMP) is a rare inflammatory condition that can be misdiagnosed through imaging, leading to unnecessary biopsies; this study aimed to summarize the imaging features of PMP in five patients.
- - All patients, aged 58 to 74 years, underwent ultrasound-guided prostate biopsies which confirmed PMP and excluded prostate cancer; imaging showed high signal lesions on T1-weighted MRI and abnormal prostate morphology on ultrasound.
- - While PSA levels, MRI, and ultrasound aren't specific indicators of PMP, a history of co-infections could aid in accurate diagnosis and prevent unnecessary biopsies.
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is an important zoonotic tropical disease in China that affects people living in western endemic areas. The disease is prone to occur in the liver with a characteristic similar to slow-growing malignant tumors. We report a 31-year-old male patient with serious complication after hepatorrhaphy, who had presented with clinical manifestations of hepatapostema with infection.

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is an imaging technique which has been recommended for identifying focal lesions in the liver.
