OBJECTIVES: To determine how common @entity5 is in this locality compared to all other @entity5 and @entity5 , and to determine and comment on the various methods of treatment available at KNH. DESIGN: A retrospective case study. SETTING: Kenyatta National Referral Hospital, Nairobi. SUBJECTS: All @entity1 with histologically confirmed @entity5 at the Kenyatta National hospital between January 1970 and December 1999. RESULTS: There were 55 @entity1 with @entity5 representing 0.1% of all @entity5 during the study period. The mean age was 47.9 years with a peak incidence between 40-61 year age groups. @entity5 was the most rare @entity5 representing 5.1%. The most common was @entity263 (56.0%), followed by @entity150 (25.0%), @entity703 (7.9%), and @entity5 (6.1%). Thirty eight @entity1 (69.1%) presented with @entity1442 , Jacksons stages III and IV. The majority (96.4%) of the @entity1 had glandular and preputial involvement. Histologically, 56.4% had well differentiated @entity957 , (23.6%) had moderately differentiated and (20.0%) had @entity189 . Forty @entity1 (72.7%) were circumcised, nine @entity1 (16.4%) were circumcised as adolescents and three @entity1 (5.5%) circumcised as adults. Twenty five @entity1 had partial penectomy with radiotherapy and or chemotherapy. Eight @entity1 had total penectomy and radiotherapy while four @entity1 had local excision and radiotherapy. Eleven other @entity1 had radiotherapy either alone or combined with chemotherapy. Two @entity1 had circumcision only and inguinal lymphadenectomy was effected on five @entity1 after penectomy and radiotherapy. CONCLUSION: @entity5 is rare and the least common urological malignancy in this locality. It occurs in younger @entity1 with a mean age of 47.9 years, and presents as advanced @entity5 . The majority of @entity1 had penectomy and local excision followed by radiotherapy.
