Mycoses. 1991 Sep-Oct;34(9-10):381-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1439-0507.1991.tb00799.x.

Abstract

The third case of a culturally and histologically proven candidosis of the prostate in the world literature available to us is reported. Autopsy of a 59-year-old man with metastasizing bronchial carcinoma as predisposing primary disease revealed a local candidosis of the prostate in the left lobe of the prostate, without evidence of a Candida sepsis. Parallel and different aspects in comparison with the other two cases are described.
