Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Andrology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) typically affects older men.
  • BPH in individuals under 40 is exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • A 20-year-old male presented with urinary symptoms including dysuria and a sensation of residual urine.
  • Initial diagnosis was benign prostatic hypertrophy, which is highly unusual for this age group.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent a suprapubic prostatectomy for treatment.
  • The resected prostate weighed 380g, representing the largest juvenile benign prostatic hypertrophy case reported in medical literature to date.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the possibility of BPH occurring in young adults.
  • It underscores the importance of considering BPH in the differential diagnosis of lower urinary tract symptoms in younger populations.
  • The significant size of the prostate in this juvenile case may offer insights into potential etiological factors or disease progression in rare instances.
