Abstract:
Elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels are mostly suggestive of prostate cancer, but they are elevated in non-cancerous prostatic conditions as well. However, extreme levels of PSA as reported here have not been observed in cases other than prostatic cancer so far. Our patient had a significantly elevated PSA of 1,398 ng/mL in acute prostatitis. The purpose of this case report is to review the patient\'s atypical and rare presentation of extremely high PSA in acute prostatitis in the background of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and chronic prostatitis.
摘要:
前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)水平升高主要提示前列腺癌,但它们在非癌性前列腺疾病中也会升高。然而,到目前为止,在前列腺癌以外的病例中未观察到此处报道的PSA的极端水平。我们的患者在急性前列腺炎中的PSA显着升高,为1,398ng/mL。本病例报告的目的是回顾在良性前列腺增生(BPH)和慢性前列腺炎的背景下,急性前列腺炎中PSA极高的非典型和罕见表现。
