Overview[edit | edit source]

Prostate cancer must be differentiated from benign prostatic hypertrophy, renal cancer, renal stones, bladder cancer, and cystitis.

Differential diagnosis[edit | edit source]

Prostate cancer must be differentiated from:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]


Diseases Clinical manifestations Para-clinical findings Gold standard
Symptoms Physical examina
Lab Findings Diagnosi
Low back pain Fever Nausea/

Vomiting

Urinary symptoms Hypertension Pitting edema Other
Dysuria Frequency Oliguria
Disease Low back pain Fever Nausea/

Vomiting

Nephrolithiasis[16][17] + ± + ± ± ± – –
  • Radiating pain to groin
 Abdominal CT scan without contrast

Lower urinary tract diseases Benign prostatic hyperplasia +/- - - + + - - -
  • Nocturia
  • Other voiding symptoms
    • Slow urinary stream
    • Splitting or spraying of the urinary stream
    • Intermittent urinary stream
    • Hesitancy
    • Straining to void
    • Terminal dribbling
  • Urinalysis to rule out UTI
  • Elevated BUN/Cr
  • High PSA values
  • Urine cytology to screen for bladder cancer
  • Biopsy to rule out cancer
 Biopsy
Urolithiasis[24][25][26] + +/- + + + + - - Abdominppelvic CT scan without contrast Abdominppelvic CT scan without contrast
Infectious diseases Pyelonephritis[27][28] + + + + + + - - CT and ultrasound: -
Cystitis[29][30] - - - + + + - - Ultrasound:
  • Presence of gas in the bladder wall.
  • Also, help to detect the presence of a tumor or a stone.
