Abstract:
Objective To elucidate the clinical features of nonspecific granulomatous prostatitis(NSGP). Methods From February 1994 to February 2002,26 cases of NSGP confirmed histologically were retrospectively analysed.Of them 20 cases were treated with anti-inflammatory therapy alone;4 cases with anti-inflammatory therapy plus ?-receptor blocker,and 2 cases who concomitantly had retention of urine underwent TURP. Results All the 26 patients were followed up for 6 to 42 months.The therapeutic results were satisfactory.The Qmax increased from 4.6～12.8 ml/s to 16～28 ml/s,and the hard prostate mass became soft,with reduction from 2.5 cm?3.5 cm to 0.5 cm?1.0 cm.The serum PSA decreased from 15.5～60.8 ng/ml to 1.5～10.6 ng/ml. Conclusions In clinical practice NSGP is often mistaken for prostatic carcinoma,so special attention should be paid to the differential diagnosis.The definite diagnosis depends on histopathological examination.
