Prostatic abscess is a rare and potentially life-threatening disease when left untreated. We report the first case of a man who developed a prostatic abscess as a long-term complication of cryoablation for primary prostate cancer. Timely diagnosis with non-contrast computed tomography (CT) scan, retrograde CT cystogram to ensure no bladder involvement, percutaneous drainage under CT-guidance, and antibiotic treatment sensitive to the causative organism were crucial for prompt recovery.

Prostatic fluid collection is not uncommon in urological practice. Prostatic abscess is the most frequent finding in this clinical setting. Spontaneous prostatic hematoma is rare, and may be related to prostatic cancer. Every case of prostatic collection must be considered with attention, and further evaluation is needed when the diagnosis is not clear. Here we report the case of a spontaneous prostatic hematoma, which was eventually found to be due to prostatic cancer, describing in detail the clinical features, differential diagnosis and treatment options.
