title: [Pelvic solid masses of uncertain etiology. A clinical case].
abstract: We report the case of a 73 year old male with a bulky endovesical mass infiltrating near organs at the radiologic studies and urinary obstruction. We specify the diagnostic tests which end in the diagnosis of giant benign prostatic hyperplasia. Regarding the case, we consider the causes of solic pelvic masses and the diagnostic methods available, making a stand on the paramount importance of the hystologic exam.
