ABSTRACT

Giant prostatic hyperplasia (GPH) is an unusual pathology that should be suspected during the study of solid pelvic cavity tumors in men. There are fewer than 30 reports in the literature of cases in which the entity weighs more than 500 g. The rare GPH case described here presented in a 73-year-old man with few urinary symptoms, an episode of hematuria and no significant prostate specific antigen (PSA) elevation. He was treated with enucleation of the adenoma by vesicocapsular approach. The surgical specimen weighed 600 g. Patient postoperative progression was adequate.
