Transurethral resection of prostatic abscess under sonographic guidance.

Transrectal ultrasound may establish the diagnosis of prostatic abscess in an ambiguous clinical setting. Transurethral resection (deroofing) is the treatment preferred by many clinicians, yet intraoperative complete abscess obliteration may be difficult to confirm endoscopically. We report on a patient with a complex prostatic abscess endoscopically resected under transrectal ultrasound guidance. Adequacy of treatment was proved pathologically.

Gastrointestinal tuberculosis. The great mimic still at large.

Gastrointestinal tuberculosis has declined markedly in frequency since the introduction of antituberculous therapy. As a result, the diagnosis is often delayed in North American patients. Segmental colonic disease, especially in the absence of pulmonary tuberculosis, is often difficult to differentiate from Crohn's disease or a neoplasm. We describe a case of colonic tuberculosis mimicking carcinoma of the hepatic flexure of the colon.
