We present the case of a 69-year-old man experiencing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), notably difficulties with urination. His total prostate-specific antigen level was measured at 3.52 ng/ml, accompanied by an International Prostate Symptom Score of 32. Transrectal ultrasound revealed a prostate volume of 268 cm. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition among aging men, often manifesting as LUTS. However, in rare instances, BPH can progress pathologically to giant prostatic hyperplasia, characterized by a prostate gland exceeding 500 g in weight. This report documents the successful enucleation of the giant BPH without significant complications, utilizing a transvesical prostatectomy technique. Our case underscores the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate management strategies.
