Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the range of sizes of the prostate gland in adult males in our local environment using supra-pubic ultrasonography, and to provide acceptable range of normal prostate gland dimensions. A prospective random selection of 74 a-
symptomatic adult males were recruited and measurements of the maximum length, height and width of their prostate gland were obtained and the volume calculated. Subjects were selected, if they had no complaints related to the urinary system or signs of urinary tract disease. The transverse, AP and Longitudinal diameters range from 26-54mm (+ 6.9mm), 24-51mm (+ 4.5mm) and 22-53 (+ 6.5mm) respectively, the volume ranges for the above three parameters were 41.8mm, 30.9mm and 34mm. The mean prostate volume obtained was 22.9cm. there results are discussed with data obtained modalities among Caucasians.
