PROSTATIC ASPERGILLOSIS

Prostatic aspergillosis is rare with only 3 cases reported previously. We report a case of localized invasive aspergillosis of the prostate in a nonimmunocompromised patient with chronic urinary retention and r ecurrent urinary tract infections. Transurethral resection followed by open prostatectomy was performed for massive prostatomegaly. No syste mic antifungal therapy was required for cure. The literature is review ed, and diagnostic and management options are discussed.
