Abstract:
Multiple primary cancers are the occurrence of more than two cancers of different origin in an individual. Penile cancer is a rare disease, and finding it combined with other cancers is even rarer. A 64-year-old man with a painful penile mass was referred to us from a primary urological clinic. We performed a biopsy of the penile mass and the histology revealed a well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Abdominal computed tomography showed a localized bladder tumor with inguinal lymphadenopathy. The patient underwent a partial penectomy, transurethral resection of the bladder tumor and inguinal lymph node dissection. The histology of the bladder tumor was high-grade papillary carcinoma, and that of the lymph node was squamous cell carcinoma. The penile and bladder tumors were in stage II (T1N1M0) and stage I (T1N0M0), respectively. We successfully treated the patient with adjuvant radiotherapy and systemic chemotherapy.
