ABSTRACT = {Prostatitis is a common cause of prostate-specific antigen 
(PSA) elevation but can masquerade underlying prostate 
cancer. We present a case of a man with undiagnosed 
prostate cancer whose initial PSA elevation of 
> 999.0 ng/mL was initially ascribed entirely to 
prostatitis. In the setting of possible prostatitis 
clinicians should avoid the knee jerk reaction to blame 
the totality of PSA elevation on prostatitis. A greatly 
elevated PSA may be a sign of an underlying prostate 
cancer and should be explored in the proper clinical 
setting.},
