Incidental carcinoma of the prostate was detected in 58 patients after suprapubic prostatectomy for benign hypertrophy carried out in 942 men between 1962 and 1982. A 5-year follow-up was possible in 34 cases. The survival rate was assessed according to staging and grading of the carcinoma whereby the tumours were retrospectively reclassified according to Jewett. The therapy of incidental carcinoma of the prostate and 5-year survival rate are discussed on the basis of a survey of the literature.
