Rapid Recurrence of Giant Multilocular Prostatic Cystadenoma after Laparoscopic Excision for Primary Case: A Case...

Giant multilocular prostatic cystadenoma is a rare benign tumor of the prostate gland that presents as a large retroperitoneal pelvic mass. The mass is usually located between the urinary bladder and rectum, and results in obstructive voiding symptoms and a change in bowel habits. Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice. We present a case of rapid recurrent giant multilocular prostatic cystadenoma after laparoscopic excision for primary case. A previously healthy 54-year-old man presented with acute urinary retention. Prostate MRI showed a large cystic mass approximately 13 cm in size, multiple septa and lobulation in the prostate, and no visible solid lesions. Laparoscopic marsupialization of giant multilocular prostatic cystadenoma cysts was performed. One year later, the patient presented with local recurrence. Repeated laparoscopic complete resection was performed without any complications and further recurrence. Giant multilocular prostatic cystadenoma has the risk of recurrence in case of incomplete resection. Surgical treatment should be performed with the goal of complete removal following the same principles as cancer surgery.
