Abstract
Giant prostate hyperplasia is defined as prostate hyperplasia with a weight greater than 500 grams. This condition is rare. We present the management of a case of giant prostate hyperplasia (541 grams on CT scan) with a surgical enucleated volume of 800 grams in a patient who presented with haematuria. An abdominal-pelvic CT scan was required to differentiate it from a suspected bladder tumour. This case was successfully managed with a favourable outcome following open transvesical prostatectomy, ensuring minimal blood loss. This case report and review provide an update on the management of giant prostate hyperplasia, with emphasis on the prevention and management of haemorrhage. FUNDING: None declared.
