Transperitoneal laparoscopic treatment for recurrence of a giant multilocular prostatic cystadenoma: A case report and review of the literature.

Giant multilocular prostatic cystadenomas (GMPC) are very rare benign tumors that originate from the prostate with extensive spread into the pelvis. The lesion may present as large abdominal mass causing obstructive voiding dysfunction and usually not invading adjacent structures. All of the previously reported patients with GMPC underwent open surgery.

The role of the elastography in the diagnosis of prostate cancer: a retrospective study on 460 patients.

Objective: Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancer among men in industrialized total Prostatic Specific Antigen (PSA) and PSA ratio, Trans Rectal Ultrasound Scan (TRUS) and prostate biopsy, which is the gold standard for tumoral diagnosis. The poor sensibility of TRUS, when DRE and/or PSA are abnormal, requires prostate biopsy for diagnostic confirmation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensibility and the specificity of real time elastography (SE) with and without the association of TRUS for cancer diagnosis.
