Core Tip

Core Tip: Giant multilocular cyst adenoma (GMC) of the prostate is a rare benign tumor without specific clinical manifestations that can easily be misdiagnosed as BPH due to obstructive urinary symptoms. We recommend individualized treatment of this rare tumor and provide our experience in the first case of prostatic GMC treated with robot-assisted radical prostatectomy that resulted in a good outcome.
