Urology. 2021 Dec:158:1-2. doi: 10.1016/j.urology.2021.09.011. Epub 2021 Oct 2.

Abstract

The presence of penile metastatic lesions proceeding from primary rectal tumors is a rare entity usually associated with a poor prognosis. Clinical presentation and localization may vary. There exists no consensus gold standard treatment for penile metastatic lesions, and there is continuous debate on whether lesions should undergo surgical, chemotherapeutic or palliative management.
