title: Giant benign prostatic hyperplasia in a young adult male.
abstract: A 27-year-old Caucasian male presented with lower urinary tract symptoms and hemospermia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a prostate of 180 mL. The patient underwent open transvesical prostatic enucleation with preoperative and postoperative histopathologic examinations consistent with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a very rare condition at this age group, with this patient being the youngest non-Asian confirmed case in the literature.
