Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy in African Men: What Is the Impact? A Case Report and Literature Review

Giant benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), although rare, can reach weights of 200 to 500 grams or more.This case presents a 62-year-old patient, Mr. K.A., with a 503-gram prostatic adenoma causing acute urinary retention.After resuscitation and adenectomy, histological examination revealed a benign adenomyoma.Although giant BPH is infrequent, its management remains surgical, primarily through open prostatectomy.Minimally invasive techniques show advantages, but traditional surgery remains the gold standard.Postoperative followup is crucial to prevent complications.
