    Benign prostatic hyperplasia can invade the rectum after a prostate biopsy. This rare complication, though histologically benign, may necessitate extensive surgery like pelvic exenteration.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in aging men.
    • Transrectal prostate biopsy is a standard diagnostic procedure.

    Observation:

    • Rectal invasion by BPH occurred after an open transrectal prostate biopsy.
    • Initial management involved repeated transrectal resections of the prostate.

    Findings:

    • Massive intrarectal regrowth of BPH was observed.
    • The condition was histologically benign but clinically malignant in presentation.
    • Pelvic exenteration was ultimately required due to extensive regrowth.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights a rare but severe complication of prostate biopsy.

  • It underscores the importance of considering unusual presentations of BPH.
  • Pelvic exenteration may be a necessary treatment for extensive, recurrent BPH invasion.
