it is also known as '''prostatic nodular hyperplasia'''. Occasionally, it is referred to as
'''benign prostatic hypertrophy'''; this is a misnomer. This pathology is ''not'' a hypertrophy.
 
==General==
*Very common.
*Incidence increases with age.
 
Clinical - mnemonic ''I WISH 2p'':<ref>{{Ref TN2006| U5}}</ref>
*Intermittency.
*Weak stream.
*Incomplete emptying.
*Straining.
*Hesitancy.
*Post-void dribbling.
*Prolonged voiding.
 
Treatment:
*Medications.
*Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
 
==Gross==
*Enlargement of the prostate.
*Nodularity of the prostate.
 
==Microscopic==
Features:
*Stromal and/or glandular hyperplasia.
 
Note:
*Should '''not''' be diagnosed on core biopsy!
 
DDx:
*[[Urothelial carcinoma]] - significant nuclear atypia.

This is morphologically consistent with a post-TURP granuloma.
