Description
Ozkan Ozdemir reports a prostate inflammation case that mimicked advanced cancer on MRI in a 2026 case report. Multiparametric MRI guides prostate cancer detection and staging, and features like strong diffusion restriction and apparent spread beyond the gland usually signal aggressive malignancy.
A 49-year-old man with urinary symptoms and a modest PSA of 2.7 had a large peripheral zone lesion scored PI-RADS 5, suggesting locally advanced cancer. Systematic biopsy instead showed chronic prostatitis without cancer, and antibiotics led to marked lesion regression on repeat MRI. The case cautions against overstaging based on imaging alone.
