  • Title: [Metastasis to the penis from carcinoma of the rectum. A clinical case].
    Author: Comandone A, Bau G, Mo A, Bretti S, Alberghina A, Frigerio A, Bumma C.
    Journal: Minerva Gastroenterol Dietol; 1992; 38(1):49-52. PubMed ID: 1520754.
    Abstract:
    Penile metastases are extremely uncommon, with less than 300 reported cases. The primary sites of the responsible carcinoma have been bladder, rectum, prostate, kidney, testis, lung, nasopharynx and melanoma in that order. We report a case confirming the same data: no therapy has been shown to be helpful, the prognosis is very poor, with an average survival of less than one year. On the other hand we pointed out the importance of CT scan as a diagnostic tool for assessing the spread of neoplasm.
