title: [Transurethral resection of the prostatic gland (TUR-P) and incidental carcinoma].
abstract: During the four years between January, 1983 and December, 1986, transurethral resection of the prostatic gland (TUR-P) was performed on 108 patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy at Osaka Municipal Kita Citizen's Hospital. Histopathological examination of the transurethral resection specimens revealed 9 cases (8.3%) of incidental carcinoma. In this study, the average patient age, preoperative prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) level and weight of resection specimens were compared for all 108 patients. For the 9 patients with incidental carcinoma, the clinical stage, histological grade and therapy were evaluated.
