The cholesterol embolism syndrome (CES) is an unusual disease that carries a high mortality rate. Finding intraprostatic cholesterol crystal embolization as the result of transrectal prostate biopsy in a patient with several risk factors for atherosclerosis, should alert the urologist to the possibility of CES existence.

Keywords : Cholesterol embolism syndrome; Prostate; Transrectal prostate biopsy.
