Markedly enlarged prostate. It weighs about 155 g. The residual urine postmicturation = 44 ml.

The median lobe of the prostate indents the bladder base.

Case Discussion

Benign prostatic hyperplasia with postmicturation residual and diffuse bladder wall thickening with reduced urinary bladder capacity. This is a very common condition in older males. 

Ultrasound has difficulty distinguishing benign from malignant prostate pathology.
