大腸内視鏡下止血を要した経直腸的前立腺生検

The transrectal prostate biopsy required endoscopic treatment.

70歳男性に対して前立腺特異抗原（prostate specific antigen：PSA）高値のため超音波ガイド下経直腸的前立腺生検を行った。帰室後，直腸から持続する出血を認めたため，圧迫止血を行ったが，止血困難のため内視鏡下に観察後，クリッピングにて止血した。生検標本の病理検査にて悪性所見が認められた。

A 70-years-old man,developed continuous bleeding from the recture transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy of the prostate for evaluation of increased serum PSA. The rectal bleeding was not controlled by direct pressure digitally,therefore we performed endoscopic intervention. The rectal bleeding was readily controlled with two endoscopicalclippings. Pathologic result of the specimens was malignant.
