Abstract

A 53-year-old man presented with high fever and urinary retention. The patient had diabetes, and alcoholic liver cirrhosis. Clinical diagnosis was prostatic abscess by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and we performed anti-biotic therapy. Because there was no improvement of symptoms, we performed percutaneous cystostomy and transurethral resection (TUR) of the abscess walls. Drainage by TUR is suggested to be a useful strategy for prostatic abscess.
