  • Pathology

Background:

  • Giant prostatic hyperplasia (GPH) is a rare condition.
  • Fewer than 10 cases of prostate glands exceeding 500g have been reported.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of GPH involving a 526g prostatic adenoma.
  • The patient underwent a simple retropubic prostatectomy.

Findings:

  • The surgical removal of the 526g prostatic adenoma was uncomplicated.
  • Simple retropubic prostatectomy is a viable surgical option for GPH.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of GPH presentation and management.
  • Highlights the efficacy of surgical intervention for extremely enlarged prostates.
