Unusual histopathological diagnosis of prostatic blue nevus: A case report

Abstract:

Introduction. Prostatic blue nevus was first described as a benign lesion of uncertain and controversial histogenesis by Nogogosyan in 1963. Currently, 30 cases have been reported in the world literature. Case presentation. A 63-year-old Hispanic man presented with prostatism of several months' evolution. Histopathological examination revealed a blue nevus associated with nodular hyperplasia and acute inflammation. Conclusion: Prostatic blue nevus is a rare and unusual, histologically benign prostatic lesion with limited clinical significance and a favorable prognosis. © 2013 Montalvo and Redrobán; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.
