Granulomatous prostatitis is an uncommon disease of the prostate, an exocrine gland of the male reproductive system. It is a form of prostatitis (prostate inflammation), resulting from infection[1] (bacterial, viral, or fungal), BCG vaccine, malacoplakia or systemic granulomatous diseases which involve the prostate.

Pathogenesis

Prostatic secretions escape into the stroma and elicit an inflammatory response.

Histopathology

Noticeable destruction of Acini, surrounded by epitheloid cells, giant cells, lymphocytes, [2]plasma cells and dense fibrosis.

gollark: I mean, also, I generally am not very good at English stuff. During our mock exams, I really struggled to write some essays in the 2-hour time we had and didn't think they were very good. And they weren't really, I got a 6.

gollark: I mean, GCSE maths isn't very hard. I don't even do that much revision.

gollark: Anyway, sometimes after maths tests and stuff I hear people talking about how they got 25% or something, and I think to myself... *how*?

gollark: I'm only providing vague details. Although they might be enough to uniquely identify me. Oops.

gollark: Yes, they were cancelled.
