An evaluation for retrovirus infection or other causes of immunosupp- ression was negative. The nodules responded to radiotherapy with cobalt-60, rapidly involuting. The patient has no evidence of Kaposi's sarcoma for over two years. The modified inguinal lymphadenectomy is a reasonable alternative to surveillance and may accurately identify men with positive nodes. Long-term survival and low morbidity seem to justify this approach in men with squamous cell carcinoma of the penis and clinically negative inguinal lymph nodes.
Neoplasms metastasizing to the penis are uncommon, and occur at the end stage of carcinoma.
We describe two patients with a metastatic lesion to the penis from lung squamous cell carcinoma and pancreatic adenocarcinoma. We reviewed 101 cases with secondary penile tumor. The prognosis of secondary penile tumor is extremely poor.
