title: [Anatomoclinical study of prostate benign tumors a the urology service of the CHU Ignace Deen].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  It was to compare picture and results of anatomopathological exams of the operated organs, given the individualization of new procedures in recent years.
  
  
  METHODS
  One hundred and eighty-two patients, aged from 50 to 98 years, were hospitalized for prostatic tumors. After a complete clinical exam followed by surgery, the operated organs were the subject of a conventional histological study. Data from the rectal touch (RT) were compared with the histological results.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In the diagnosis of benignancy, RT and the histology are in agreement in 93% of the cases, though only in 75% of the cases of suspected malignancy. Seven percent of the occult cancers are observed, of which ten cases (6%) are adenocarcinoma at Stage A, and two cases (1%) of carcinoma in situ. We observe as well one case of prostatic localization of leukemia and one case of leiomyosarcoma. Prostatitic-type inflammatory lesions and malpighian metaplasias are very frequent 18 and 7%, respectively). Basal cell hyperplasia is rare.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The RT keeps its place in the exploration of the prostate, within the framework of individual screening and patient follow-up. Transrectal echography and protein-specific antigen (PSA) dosing are certainly necessary but expensive in our country. Histology, which remains irreplaceable, allows us to make a definitive diagnosis at low cost.
