Keywords:

One of the most prevalent conditions affecting one-third of men over 60 years, usually presenting with urinary bladder obstruction and hematuria is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). An extremely rare entity of BPH is giant benign prostatic hyperplasia (GBPH) with mass exceeding 500g. This case report concerns an elderly male cadaver received at All Saints University School of Medicine with a GBPH weighing 719g and measuring 21.5 × 16 × 15.5 cm in size and 9cm in diameter. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first largest prostate with prostatic hyperplasia found in a cadaver during dissection.
