Granulomatous prostatitis (GnP) accounts for 0.8–1% of benign inflammatory conditions of the prostate. It mimics prostate cancer clinically, histologically and biochemically.Non-specific granulomatous prostatitis is the most common type of granulomatous prostatitis. As most GnP is of the non-specific type, therapy is mainly supportive and up to 62% of the patients have spontaneous resolution. The present study reviews the transrectal ultrasonography results and serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels of 2 patients with biopsy-proven non-specific granulomatous prostatitis
