Abstract
Abscess, is a condition that often occurs in the anorectal region. Anorectal abscesses
are more frequently seen in men than women (2:1 or 3:1) and often seen in 3th-5th
decades. Prostatic abscess, which is a rare condition today, has been thought that
originated from prostatitis. A 50 year old male patient, was admitted to our urology clinic
with the complaints of urinary frequency and dysuria for last two months. There is no
prominent feature other than diabetes in the patient's history and asymmetric growth
found on the left lobe in rectal examination of the prostate. The patients presenting with
clinically anorectal abscess should be assessed properly with history, physical
examination, laboratory, and imaging findings and also rarely underlying causes of
inflammation of adjacent organs such as the prostate abscess should be kept in mind.
