Summary. The third case of a culturally and histologically proven candidosis of the prostate in the world literature available to us is reported. Autopsy of a 59‐year‐old man with metastasizing bronchial carcinoma as predisposing primary disease revealed a local candidosis of the prostate in the left lobe of the prostate, without evidence of a Candida sepsis. Parallel and different aspects in comparison with the other two cases are described. Zusammenfassung. Der dritte Fall in der Weltliteratur einer kulturell und histologisch gesi‐cherten Prostata‐Candidose wird beschrieben. Die Obduktion eines 59‐jährigen Mannes mit metastasierendem Bronchialcarcinom als prädis‐ponierende Grunderkrankung ergab eine lokale Prostata‐Candidose im linken Prostatalappen, ohne Hinweise für eine Candida‐Sepsis . Parallelen und Unterschiede zu den zwei weiteren Kasuisti‐ken werden dargestellt.
