Abstract
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a histological diagnosis and the most frequent benign tumor in older men, and its incidence strongly correlates with advanced age. Giant prostate enlargement (GPE), also known as giant prostatic hyperplasia, is a term given for severely enlarged prostates that weigh more than 500g. GPE cases reported in literature is less than 30. We describe our experience of removing previously asymptomatic 528g prostate by open transvesical prostatectomy. According to transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) the prostate size is 482 ml and prostate‑specific antigen level of 5.1 ng/ml. Histological examination showed nodular prostatic hyperplasia, an adenomatous variant with foci of cystic atrophy, chronic prostatitis. The patient's post-operative recovery went without any relapses and complications.
