Benign prostatic hypertrophy in a young male.

A 20-year-old male with complaints of dysuria and a sense of residual urine was diagnosed as having benign prostatic hypertrophy. He was treated by suprapubic prostatectomy. Benign prostatic hypertrophy in young men is very rare; this case seems to be the largest (380 g) among juvenile benign prostatic hypertrophy reported in the literature so far.
