BACKGROUND Prostatic blue nevus was first described as a benign lesion of uncertain and controversial histogenesis by Nogogosyan in 1963. Currently, 30 cases have been reported in the world literature. METHODS A 63-year-old Hispanic man presented with prostatism of several months' evolution. Histopathological examination revealed a blue nevus associated with nodular hyperplasia and acute inflammation. CONCLUSIONS Prostatic blue nevus is a rare and unusual, histologically benign prostatic lesion with limited clinical significance and a favorable prognosis.
