Zusammenfassung:Prostatic tuberculosis is considered to be a rare disease. It is usually associated with nonspecific symptoms and is detected incidentally after prostatic histological analysis. We report the case of a 60-year-old man suffering from acute urinary retention with an estimated 90 g prostate who underwent Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate.
