abstract:
A 69-year-old North African male with established diagnosis of sarcoidosis underwent a stereotactic prostate biopsy with fusion technique. At the histological analysis, non-necrotizing microgranulomas were highlighted in 2 samples, while the immunohistochemical staining resulted negative for CK903/p63/racemase. To the best of our knowledge, only 16 cases of prostatic sarcoidosis have been reported in literature. With this case report we describe an incidental diagnosis of prostatic involvement of sarcoidotic disease and briefly review and discuss the available literature on the topic.
