Cystoscopy was performed after failed combined analgesic, antibiotic, and antimuscarinic treatment and revealed complete calcification of the prostatic resection cavity (Fig. 1).
Histological analysis of prostatic tissue obtained during re-TURP revealed areas of necrosis and granular calcifications associated with necrotic acinar epithelium. (A) Hematoxylin and eosin staining, (B) Von Kossa staining. Original magnification 200 x .
