[Anatomopathologic, clinical and radiologic aspects of benign tumors of the prostate in Mali, 759 cases].
The benign prostate tumours are dominated by prostatic adenomyoma. They are the first uro-genital pathology worldwide. The objective of this work is to describe the anatomo-pathological, clinical and radiological aspects of benign prostate tumours in Mali. It is a retrospective study which was conducted in Bamako (Mali) form January 1998 to December 2003. It has involved 759 patients who had histological confirmed prostate adenoma in the Department of Urology in Point G University Hospital. The patients were classified according to age, the clinical exam, the rate of prostate specific antigen (PSA), the sonogram, the macro and microscopic exam. The average age of the patients is 75.5 years. The apical part of the prostate is the area mostly involved. The adenomyoma is the most frequent histological type (98% of the cases). A very clear radiological and macroscopic disparity was noticed. "The night pollakiuria" was the primarily clinical sign in all patients; the prostate specific antigen (PSA) is high among more than 80%.
