Abstract:
Metastatic cancers of the penis are rare, and are usually secondary to other genitourinary primaries. The two most common primary genitourinary tumors are prostatic adenocarcinomas and transitional cell carcinomas of the bladder. They can present with a variety of symptoms and signs. A biopsy is required to confirm the tumor infiltration of the lesion. Generally, the prognosis of penile metastasis has been poor. We report one case of a metastatic transitional cell carcinoma of the penis, which showed a good response to gemcitabine-cisplatin combination chemotherapy.
