Abstract

A 62-old-year male presented to our hospital with induration of the prepuce and bleeding from the glans penis that occurred during sexual intercourse. Scrape cytology was performed, which showed class V, suspected squamous cell carcinoma. Computed tomography showed no metastases, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed no invasion of the corpus spongiosum. Circumcision and resection of the glanstumor were performed. Histopathological examination revealed squamous cell carcinoma in situ. We diagnosed the case as penile carcinoma in situ (pTisN0M0, UICC stage 0, and Jackson stage I). At 6 months postoperatively, local recurrence of penile carcinoma was detected by visual inspection after 5% acetic acid staining, and tumor resection was performed. At 9 months postoperatively (after the 2nd resection), the patient has remained disease-free, with no evidence of recurrence.
