Abstract

48 consecutive male patients with T.C.C. Ta-T1 and C.I.S. underwent local therapy with BCG. 4 patients presented with perineal pain and dysuria. T.R.U.S. showed hypoechoic areas with capsular infiltration. Transperineal echo-guided biopsy was taken and histology showed specific chronic granulomatous prostatitis.
