Abstract

Xanthogranulomatous prostatitis as mimicker of prostate adenocarcinoma can cause a diagnostic dilemma, as presented in this case. Therefore, alongside histopathology analysis, multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) would be useful in this situation by identifying and characterizing suspicious prostatic lesions before biopsy thereby supporting current recommendations on the use of mpMRI.
