“…There has been only one such case report, apart from the present case, documented in the literature, where the spine was involved from this primary site [4]. The investigations that were carried out to confirm the metastatic involvement were radiographs of the dorsal spine ( fig.…”

Carcinoma of the Penis Metastasizing to the Dorsal Spine

Carcinoma of the penis tends to have a predictable route of spread by direct invasion and by regional lymphatic involvement to the inguinal group of lymph nodes. Blood-borne distant spread is rare, last to occur, and is seen in 1–3% of cases. Metastasis to the spine is even rarer. We encountered one such case who presented with spinal metastasis, as documented by the whole body bone scan, and this was later followed by involvement of the inguinal nodes. This case is unique in its site of metastatic presentation as well as its pattern of presentation.

“…Penile cancer metastasising to the spine is rare, with only a few cases reported [ 9 – 11 ]. The most common presenting symptom of metastatic disease of the spine from any primary carcinoma is pain, present in 83–95% of patients [ 12 ].…”

“…Due to the rarity of spinal metastases from penile carcinoma, no definitive guidelines for treatment exist. In the three previously reported cases of spinal metastasis secondary to penile cancer, two were treated with palliative radiotherapy [ 9 , 10 ] and one was treated with surgical resection and stabilisation [ 11 ] due to rapid progression in neurology emergency decompression was deemed most appropriate to reduce permanent and future neurological deficit.…”

Spinal metastases may present in a myriad of ways, most commonly back pain with or without neurology. We report an unusual presentation of isolated atypical chest pain preceding metastatic cord compression, secondary to penile carcinoma. Spinal metastasis from penile carcinoma is rare with few cases reported. This unusual presentation highlights the need for a heightened level of clinical suspicion for spinal metastases as a possible cause for chest pain in any patients with a history of carcinoma. The case is discussed with reference to the literature.

“…Bony metastasis in cases of carcinoma penis is again very rare. Metastatic deposits to the iliac bone, ischial bone, and spine are reported [3]. This malignancy may mimic as a primary osteosarcoma of tibia [4] or as hypercalcemia and pathological fracture of the humerus [5].…”

Pathological Fracture of the Femur by Metastatic Carcinoma Penis—a Rare Presentation

et al. 2015

We report herein a clinical case of a patient with femur fracture due to metastasis from penile squamous cell carcinoma. A young man, who was treated for carcinoma penis, presented with pathological fracture of femur and lung metastasis from metastatic carcinoma penis after 18 months. Long bone metastasis from penile cancer is extremely rare, to the best of our knowledge; this is the first report of a patient with penile cancer spread to the femur from primary squamous cell carcinoma of the penis.
