285 affected by BPH have been evaluated by transrectal ultrasound. All the patients had a palpably normal prostate without abnormality suggestive of cancer. 56 patients (19.6%) presented ultrasonic abnormality areas. Under ultrasound guidance, biopsy was done by the transperineal route and biopsy material showed the presence of prostatic carcinoma in 24 patients (8.3%). 6 of these had neoplasm in the non peripheral zone. The study suggests the validity of ultrasound, in particularly transrectal ultrasound, in the identification of non palpable prostatic cancer. In conclusion ultrasound appears very useful in the preoperative evaluation of the patients affected by BPH in order to identify neoplasms non detectable with other methods.
285例受良性前列腺增生影响的患者接受了经直肠超声检查。所有患者的前列腺触诊正常，无癌症迹象。56例患者（19.6%）出现超声异常区域。在超声引导下，经会阴途径进行活检，活检材料显示24例患者（8.3%）存在前列腺癌。其中6例在非外周区有肿瘤。该研究表明超声，尤其是经直肠超声，在识别不可触及的前列腺癌方面是有效的。总之，超声在术前评估受良性前列腺增生影响的患者以识别其他方法无法检测到的肿瘤方面似乎非常有用。
