Could BPH Cause Mass On The Bladder?

Could a BPH case cause a mass to appear in the posterior wall of the bladder? The CT scan report describes a an enlaged Prostate and mentions involvement of a mass on the posterior wall of the bladder, the report ends by: "This mass is not seperable from the Prostate". Does this sound alarming or its just an indentation purely caused by the BPH?

Good day and thank you for being with healthcare magic!

With the information that you have provided it looks like it might be the enlarged prostate. To be really sure if there is a mass or if the mass is just the extension of the enlarged prostate then a cystoscopy could be done to look inside the bladder.

If he has gross blood in the urine and history of smoking then a cystoscopy is warranted to be sure a bladder mass is ruled out.

I hope I have answered your question satisfactorily and please consider a 5 Star rating for me.
