Sebaceous carcinoma of the penis: As aggressive as it is rare

Urol Ann. 2019 Apr-Jun;11(2):226-228. doi: 10.4103/UA.UA_139_18.

Abstract

Malignant neoplasm of the penis is a rare cancer in industrialized countries but is not uncommon in India. Nearly 95% of penile cancer is squamous cell carcinoma. Malignant neoplasms of the sebaceous glands, which are mostly confined to the head and neck region, are even rarer. We present a 74-year-old male with sebaceous cell carcinoma of the penis. He underwent excision of the primary lesion with bilateral inguinal lymph node dissection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy.

Keywords: Penis; sebaceous carcinoma; treatment.
