Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) of the penis is a rare malignant tumor which has not previously been described in the literature. Genetic associations exist in EMC that could potentially help guide early diagnosis and treatment of this type of penile cancer. This serves as the first reported case of such cancer of the penis, and highlights the indolent course it takes to presentation, and the need for an appropriate histopathologic evaluation for the correct diagnosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
