• granulomatous prostatitis (GnP) accounts for about 1% of benign inflammatory conditions of the prostate
• GnP mimics prostate cancer clinically, histologically, biochemically, ultrasonographically and radiologically
• carcinoma was clinically suspected in up to 59% of cases of GnP and cCarcinoma coexisted in 10–14% of patients with clinically diagnosed GnP
• in this review the dilemma of clinical management, especially when GnP is found on prostatic biopsies, is discussed
