Abstract

We present herein a 72-year-old male with a long history of mild lower urinary tract symptoms, with a serum prostate-specific antigen level value of 87.9 ng/mL and an estimated prostate size of 3987 mL, according to magnetic resonance imaging. Prostatic biopsies showed benign prostatic hyperplasia. Prostatic surgery has not been required. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest prostate volume reported in the medical literature.
