Abstract
Prostatic abscess is an urological entity with few statistical significant evidence that allows us to stablish a standardized management guide. It is defined as one or multiple supurative collections in the prostate, which has a low morbidity and mortality with early diagnosis and appropriate management. The next review, group the most important and recent studies in this pathology, so that in the future we could stablish a standardized managent among tthe urologists.
