Penile tumours: a review

Abstract: Penile tumours are an important problem of male health affecting physical, mental and sexual health. Penile tumours can be subdivided into benign and malignant lesions. Their knowledge is important to prevent mutilating surgery in benign lesions. On the other hand, early recognition of malignancies is important for improved prognosis, and preservation of function. The most important tumour by epidemiology and prognosis is penile cancer. In contrast, malignant melanoma, sarcomas and lymphomas are rare. Clinical… Show more

“…Patient presents unsightly, smelly and exudative penile lesion that interferes with quality of life. Involvement of inguinal lymph nodes is seen in 10 to 30%, and only in 1 to 3% is accompanied by visceral metastases [1,2]. The best method for evaluation of inguinal lymph nodes is still contradictory [4,5].…”

“…High-risk cases substantially include long-term tumors (not defined), localized midface/ear (basalioma adjacent to the lower eyelid/this criterion is met in our patient), diameter over 2 cm (basalioma in proximity to the lower eyelid/this criterion is met in our patient also), aggressive histological subtypes, perivascular/perineural infiltration, prior radiation therapy or other types of treatment failure [ 29 ]. Advanced BCCs are defined as III stage (with musculature infiltration, as described in our patient) or IV stage tumours, and when their size is more than 5 cm, they are classified as giant BCC [ 29 ]. There is often a criteria overlap between the high-risk and advanced BCCs, as well as failure of the lesion to meet all the requirements specified in the definitions.…”

“…The simultaneous occurrence of carcinoma in situ of the reserve cell type and polypoid, ulcerated Zoon’s disease hidden by phimosis demonstrates exemplary the diagnostic and therapeutic problems of penile diseases in elderly males. Early diagnosis is of particular importance to avoid invasive penile cancer with severe consequences [ 20 ].…”
