VANMALI, Atish e HAINES, Mario. Prostate abscess in a paediatric patient: A rare diagnosis. S. Afr. J. radiol. (Online) [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.1, pp.1-5. ISSN 2078-6778. http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/sajr.v25i1.2053.
Prostate abscess (PA) is an uncommon clinical manifestation that typically presents in the fifth to sixth decade of age and sporadically affects neonates. These characteristics, coupled with the atypical presentation, represent a clinical dilemma and a challenging diagnosis. A detailed history depicting the clinical course and the presence of risk factors is imperative to alert the clinician of the possibility of a PA. In this case report, we present a surgically confirmed PA, a diagnosis that is rarely encountered within the paediatric age group.
