    Author: Marghich O, Dkhissi Y, Alila M, El Bouhaddouti H.
    Journal: J Med Case Rep; 2019 Jul 28; 13(1):233. PubMed ID: 31351481.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Penile metastases are very rare and arise most frequently from genitourinary cancers. Penile metastases from rectal adenocarcinoma are less common. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 47-year-old North Afican man with penile metastases from a rectal adenocarcinoma, which was discovered 4 months after abdominoperineal resection. A penile biopsy was carried out and established the metastatic nature. He underwent palliative chemotherapy treatment. He was still alive 4 months after diagnosis of penile metastases. CONCLUSION: The prognosis of metastasis to the penis is very poor; the best results have been achieved with surgery but only for lesions where metastasis is limited to the penis.
