Prostatic abscess is an uncommon entity nowadays due to widely use of antibiotics, however, in some patients, because of the seriousness, a quickly diagnosis and interventionist treatment is required. We report a case of a 78 years-old male patient who had a torpid evolution and needed an urgent prostatectomy. We review ethiopatogenic factors, clinical findings, diagnosis and treatment of this uncommon entity.

Keywords : Prostatic abscess; Prostatectomy.
