From the case:
Prostatic abscess
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/153951/annotated_viewer_json?_c=1724696684\u0026lang=us"}
Left prostatic cystic necrotic lesion elicits a high signal in T2, markedly restricted in diffusion with a high signal in DWI and a very low signal in ADC. Marginal and septal enhancement is seen in the post-contrast T1.
Case Discussion
TRUS drainage was done and revealed purulent fluid confirming the diagnosis of prostatic abscess.
