Abstract

Prostatic abscess is a rare but nevertheless serious disease. It should be diagnosed at an early stage by the combination of clinical examination and transrectal ultrasound, and drained. We treated a 79-year-old case with multiple prostate abscesses (PAs) by using lavage of the saline and antibiotic (cefoxitin) after transrectal ultrasound-guided transrectal puncture and aspiration. We are presenting the transrectal ultrasound images of pre- and postmedication, where we achieved complete success and no relapse was seen in follow-up of 1 year.
