title: Benign prostatic hyperplasia in a patient castrated in his youth.
abstract: We report a case of benign prostatic hyperplasia in a 60-year-old patient who had been castrated when he was 30 years old. The prostatic tissue, which consisted of cystic and fibromuscular hyperplasia, contained no significant concentration of androgen receptors. Only 1 such case was reported previously in the literature.
