Retzius space hematoma after prostate biopsy: A case report

The most commonly reported complications after prostate biopsies are associated with bleeding. We present the case of a 60 y/o male with a history of elevated Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) and a PI-RADS 4 lesion who underwent an MRI-guided transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) biopsy which resulted in a rare phenomenon of a hematoma in the space of Retzius. Conservative management may be effective for patients with Retzius space hematomas who are stable or asymptomatic.

Abstract

The most commonly reported complications after prostate biopsies are associated with bleeding. We present the case of a 60 y/o male with a history of elevated Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) and a PI-RADS 4 lesion who underwent an MRI-guided transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) biopsy which resulted in a rare phenomenon of a hematoma in the space of Retzius. Conservative management may be effective for patients with Retzius space hematomas who are stable or asymptomatic.
