[Penile Cancer: A case for non-lymph node disease following a negative sentinel node exploration.].

OBJECTIVE

To describe the case of a patient with subcutaneous inguinal recurrence of penile cancer without lymph node involvement.

METHODS

Description of a clinical case and review of the literature on the subject.

RESULTS

We present the case of a 72-year-old man with penile cancer and extranodal inguinal extension that affected subcutaneous cell tissue, with a history of negative sentinel lymph node and subsequently without invasion of the regional lymph nodes in lymphadenectomy after chemotherapy. The patient presented disease progression despite multimodal treatment.

CONCLUSION

Extranodal inguinal involvement in penile cancer may occur despite a history of negative sentinel lymph node. The evolution of the patient we presented was disastrous despite the multimodal treatment carried out.
