ABSTRACT = {Giant benign prostatic hyperplasia is a rare pathology 
of the prostate gland. Here we report the successful 
removal of the ninth largest prostate ever reported. This 
65-year-old patient presented with acute urinary retention 
secondary to a bulky left prostatic mass identified on pelvic 
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). His preoperative 
prostate-specific antigen (PSA) value was 44 ng/mL; 
preoperative biopsies were negative for malignancy. Open 
radical retropubic prostatectomy was performed and the 
resulting prostatic mass was measured at 13.5 cm x 11.5 cm 
x 5.2 cm, weighing 708 g including the prostate. The 
patient tolerated the procedure well. Surgical pathology 
showed no evidence of malignancy.},
