Heterogeneous and poorly delimited enhancement affecting the left prostatic lobe and apparently the left seminal vesicle.

Case Discussion

The patient presents with elevated PSA levels. On digital rectal examination (DRE) was diagnosed a hard nodulation.

Transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) was performed and confirm a left prostatic nodule.

Pathology confirmed the result of prostatic adenocarcinoma.

Is important to emphasize that CT is not accurate at detecting in situ prostate cancer.
