Abstract:
We report a case of prostatic abscess in a 46-year old man with chronic myelocytic leukemia. Preoperative transrectal ultrasonography and computerized tomography confirmed the diagnosis of prostatic abscess, which was treated with pus drainage via transurethral resection of prostate and broad-spectrum antibiotics.
