Abstract EN

A pure leiomyoma of the prostate is a rare benign tumor.

An 82-year-old man was referred to our urology department with gross hematuria and complete urinary retention.

Examination revealed a benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Transrectal ultrasound showed a prostate of 125 mL.

Serum PSA was 1.9 µg/L.

A simple retropubic prostatectomy was performed.

Histopathological examination showed a pure leiomyoma of the prostate, without the presence of glandular prostate tissue.

The diagnosis, characteristics, and treatment of this tumor are described.
