Penile metastasis of colon carcinoma: A rare case report

Abstract: Despite being one of the most common primary tumors in the world, colon cancer only metastasizes to the penis in singular cases. We report the case of a 53 year-old male presenting with hematuria, pain and induration of the penis 2 and half years after the diagnosis of left colon cancer. CT scan demonstrated involvement of the corpus spongiosum and corpora cavernosa with enlarged external inguinal lymph nodes and asymptomatic metastasis in the liver and lungs. The finding of a penile lesi… Show more

“…Few reports of metastasis from colorectal cancers to the penis exist in the literature. 1 , 2 , 3 Presenting symptoms are induration and swelling of the penis, difficulty with micturition, hematuria and priapism. Metastasis to the penis is associated with widespread metastasis and poor outcomes.…”

“…Treatment options including surgery, radiation and chemotherapy are used palliatively without any potential for cure or survival benefit. 1 More than half of penile metastases originate from other urogenital organs, namely bladder and prostate, while the remaining cases have other systems such as lungs and the gastrointestinal tract as primary sites. 4 Other conditions associated with penile masses include primary penile malignancies (most commonly squamous cell carcinoma), inflammatory lesions, infections, and premalignant lesions.…”
