Case report highlights prostatic malacoplakia symptoms in a heart transplant patient, suggesting effective treatment options.
Prostatic malacoplakia is a relatively rare granulomatous inflammatory disease that is easily misdiagnosed as prostate cancer. Usually, patients’ symptoms are improved through antibacterial treatment. We performed thulium laser enucleation of the prostate by the triple-groove, triple-arc method on a 68-year-old man, a patient with significant dysuria. The patient has significantly improved lower urinary tract symptoms and quality of life.
