Abstract:
A 50-year-old man undergoing repeat induction chemotherapy for refractory AML had his course complicated by febrile neutropenia. He was diagnosed with a disseminated pseudomonas infection involving the lung and skin. Due to persistent fevers despite antibiotic treatment, computed tomography (CT) imaging was performed which demonstrated a 2cm prostate abscess. This was managed by transurethral unroofing of the abscess in order to eradicate his infection in the most timely manner. The patient recovered well and resumed his chemotherapy regimen two weeks following treatment.
