title: [Ultrasonic diagnosis of prostatic adenocarcinoma. Prospective study of a sample of 159 patients].
abstract: We studied the value of transrectal echography as the diagnostic means of prostate pathology. We carried out a prospective analysis of a sample of 159 patients, on whom we have anatomopathological documentation which we use as the reliability control for the clinical exploration by means of rectal touch and ultrasonography with transrectal transducer. We have obtained 137 prostate fibromuscular hyperplasias, 3 inflammatory pathologies and 19 adenocarcinomas. A 100% sensitivity in the echographic diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma was achieved for this sample.
