Abstract
BANOS HERNANDEZ, Ihosvani; ROMAN GRAVERAN, Juan Francisco and DE ARMAS AMPUDIA, Iliana. Giant prostatic hyperplasia. Adenocarcinoma. Case report. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2018, vol.40, n.5, pp. 1577-1584. ISSN 1684-1824.
We describe the case of a giant prostatic hyperplasia, combined with an adenocarcinoma presented as an abdominal tumor. The patient had a palpable tumor in the hypogastrium and a low urinary obstructive syndrome. He was operated and a combined, transvesicular and retropubic adenomectomy was performed. The biopsy informed a little 3-4 points-Gleason, acinar, prostatic adenocarcinoma, in the context of a prostatic hyperplasia. The patient evolved satisfactorily and was followed up in consultation. The removed tumor was 736 g, and is the heaviest one reported in Cuba and the fifth worldwide.
Keywords : prostatic hyperplasia; abdominal tumor.
