He was under medical treatment for benign enlargement of prostate for 2 years. Per rectal examination revealed a boggy cystic swelling anteriorly with enlarged prostate with mild tenderness. Ultrasonography abdomen and pelvis showed massive enlargement of prostate with central avascular necrotic area with moving internal echoes. Contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) showed 230 g of prostate with central liquefaction of approximately 101 mm\n                      <jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\n                      . Transurethral loop drainage along with resection of prostate was done. Histopathology revealed granulomatous prostatitis highly suggestive of prostatic tuberculosis. Prostatic abscess culture was negative. Patient is currently under category 1 anti-tubercular therapy.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Prostatic tuberculosis is a rare clinical finding which is commonly seen in patients with disseminated tuberculosis with immunocompromised status.
