Abstract

Tuberculosis of the prostate is uncommon. However, the number of patients with tuberculosis has once again recently been gradually increasing in Japan. The number of immunocompromised hosts, such as those with AIDS, is also increasing, suggesting that this rare infectious disease may increase in frequency in the near future. We present a case of tuberculosis of the prostate.
