Abstract
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is the most common neoplastic growth in men. The basic pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia are reviewed. The case of an 82-year-old man with this disease, who underwent a transurethral resection, is presented, and special problems that may arise in evaluating and treating geriatric patients are discussed.
