Nonassociation of hyperamylasemia and prostatic disease

The possible correlation of hyperamylasemia and prostatic disease was investigated in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, adenocarcinoma of the prostate, and in patients without clinical evidence of prostatic lesion. Our results indicate that prostatic lesions whether benign or malignant are not associated with either elevation of serum amylase or abnormal isozyme zymograms.
