摘要
Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided needle biopsy is routinely performed to diagnose and stage prostate carcinoma in an outpatient setting. Although serious adverse effects are rare, minor complications are common. We report the occurrence of an acute periprostatic haematoma as an unusual complication of TRUS-guided needle-biopsy of the prostate, resulting in the patient requiring prompt resuscitation and hospital admission.
