Giant prostatic hyperplasia : fourth largest prostate reported in medical literature

Abstract EN

A giant prostatic hyperplasia (GPH) weighing more than 700 g is a rare entity.

It is believed that only eight such cases have been previously reported in the medical literature.

This case report concerns a patient with a GPH weighing 740 g which was successfully removed by suprapubic prostatectomy.

To our knowledge, this is the fourth largest benign prostatic enlargement ever reported in the literature.
