Intravesical Growth of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Simulating Bladder Tumor

Abstract

Differential diagnosis of bladder tumor and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is usually not much difficult on cystoscopy or radiologic studies. However, asymmetric enlargement or huge intravesical protrusion of prostatic tissues may mimic bladder tumor. Herein, we report two cases of intravesical enlargement of BPH mimicking bladder tumor in men who had a history of transurethral resection of prostate for the treatment of BPH. Transurethral resection of bladder tumor revealed an intravesical growth of BPH, but not bladder cancer.
