Summary
We present a case of prostatic cystadenoma, a rare condition causing urinary difficulty in an 81-year-old man. Imaging revealed a pelvic cyst originating from the prostate, confirmed by histopathology.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Pathology
Background:
- Prostatic cystadenoma is a rare benign prostatic tumor.
- Urinary difficulty is a common symptom in elderly men, often associated with prostate conditions.
Observation:
- An 81-year-old male presented with urinary difficulty.
- Imaging studies including RUG, DIP, TRUS, CT, and MRI revealed a multilocular pelvic cyst deviating the bladder and prostatic urethra.
- The cyst was adhered to the bladder and originated from the right prostate.
Findings:
- Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of prostatic cystadenoma.
- The patient underwent resection of the cystic wall.
Implications:
- This case highlights prostatic cystadenoma as a rare cause of urinary obstruction.
- Reviewing 45 Japanese literature cases provides a broader understanding of this condition.
- Accurate diagnosis through advanced imaging is crucial for appropriate management.
