The incidence of prostatic abscess (PA) has markedly declined due to the availability of new antibiotics and the decreasing incidence of urethral gonococcal infections. However, sometimes it may enlarge in size requiring repeated aspirations and even spontaneous rupture may occur. Here we present a case of giant prostatic abscess who presented in our OPD with symptoms of acute urinary retention, fever and dysuria. The diagnosis was confirmed with the help of transrectal USG and was managed by per-rectal aspiration.
