Complications associated with TRUS-P biopsy are almost always minor and do not require hospitalization. Pelvic hematoma following TRUS-P biopsy is an extremely rare complication. Only a few cases have been reported in the past. Here we report the case of a 67-year-old man diagnosed with pelvic hematoma following TRUS-P biopsy who presented with tenderness in the lower abdomen and ecchymosis in the paraumbilical region, lower abdomen, and scrotum. To our knowledge, no other case has been reported in Taiwan. Therefore, we discuss this case report and review the literature associated with complication of TRUS-P biopsies. ? 2013. |
