Abstract

This work analyzes the data of contemporary scientific literature regarding the ectopic mineralization in the prostate gland, its pathogenetic features are considered.The scientific literature of recent decades gives grounds to assert that the processes of concrement formation in the prostate gland are influenced by many factors, pathological mineralization can be realized by different mechanisms. They include chronic inflammation, stagnation fractions in gland, reflux of urine from the urethra at intravesicle obstruction, malformation of prostate and seminal vesicles, specific inflammation, polymorphism of gene protein inhibitors of calcification. These mechanisms areinterconnected, each of them may participate in the overall development of concrement formation in the prostate.In recent years, due to improved instrumental diagnosis we observe a significant increase of the number of patients, who were found with pathogenic prostate gland bioliths, which requires more detailed and in-depth study of the mechanisms of mineral formation in the prostate.
