巨大前立腺肥大症の1例

Abstract

This report deals with a case of 71 year-old male with a giant prostate which weighed 230 grams. Suprapubic prostatectomy was performed successfully. Though the nomenclature of "giant prostatic hypertrophy" is not clear, the cases of over 200 grams of hypertrophy so far reported in Japan were collected and reviewed as giant prostatic hypertrophy. Comparative evaluations on the clinical findings were made between this particular case and 17 cases of postatic hypertrophy, admitted to our clinic during the last year, whose average weight of enucleated prostatic glands was 32 grams.
