Malakoplakia is a rare chronic inflammatory disease of genitourinary system. Malakoplakia of prostate may be present with prostatitis and acute urinary tract obstruction. Malakoplakia due to infection may cause high prostate specific antigen (PSA) values and gives hypoechoic image in transrectal ultrasound which is indistinguishable from prostate cancer. It is frequently misdiagnosed as a malign condition and histopathological examination is required for a definitive diagnosis. In this case report, we present a patient who presented to our hospital with prostatism symptoms and high PSA levels. Although primary clinical consideration was as prostate malignancy, this case was diagnosed as malakoplakia after histopathologic examination.
