Abstract
PLANAS MORIN, J. et al. Intraprostatic embolization of cholesterol crystals. Actas Urol Esp [online]. 2005, vol.29, n.1, pp.105-106. ISSN 0210-4806.
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.
