Abstract

Penile metastasis is an uncommon entity with around 370 odd cases reported in literature.Most of the penile metastasis arise from primary tumours in the genitourinary tract ,which accountsfor 70 of these cases. Most common symptoms are pain and multiple swellings over the penis,sometimes associated with priapism. Treatment is usually palliative, due to poor general condition ofpatients and disseminated disease, with either Radiotherapy or surgical excision by partial or totalpenectomy.
