| Popis: | We present a case of nonspecific granulomatous prostatitis in combination with calculous ductal ectasia and extensive epithelial Paneth cell-like metaplasia in a TURP-specimen. Our report highlights the importance of calculous ductal obstruction and stasis of secretions in the etiopathogenesis of this type of prostatitis. The observed extensive Paneth cell-like metaplastic change in adjacent epithelial cells most likely represents a phenotypic adaptive mechanism directed against foreign antigens and nondegradable lipids in the stagnant intraluminal debris. |
