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 follow-up is crucial to prevent complications.
