Isolated Prostate Tuberculosis Mimicking Prostate Cancer
Isolated prostate involvement by M. tuberculosis is rare, and extremely elevated PSA levels are unusual. Histopathological examination is a confirmatory test, but results can be falsely negative if a representative sample is not obtained. Therefore, a high degree of clinical suspicion, particularly in endemic areas, along with repeat biopsy, is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
