Benign phyllodes tumour of the prostate: An extremely rare entity

Abstract

Benign phyllodes tumour (BPT) of the prostate is a very rare neoplasm. It is composed of hyperplastic and neoplastic glandular stromal proliferation. Patients with BPT of the prostate generally present with lower urinary tract symptoms and hematuria. BPT of the prostate can potentially cause recurrent obstructive symptoms. Complete transurethral resection (TUR) and close postoperative follow-up is recommended. A 59-year-old man presented with dysuria and obstructive urinary symptoms. Flexible cystoscopy revealed prostatic hyperplasia and a polypoidal lesion originating from the right lateral lobe of the prostate. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 3 × 2.5-cm mass lesion in the right lateral lobe of the prostate. TUR of the prostate was performed and the pathological examination revealed benign prostatic hyperplasia and benign phyllodes tumour of the prostate.
