[Penile metastasis from urothelial carcinoma: Review of literature.].

OBJECTIVE

Penile metastasis is a very rare clinical entity. The primary origin is usually genitourinar y followed by the gastrointestinal. MATERIAL AND

METHODS

Review of the available literature on a case of penile metastasis of urothelial bladder carcinoma.

RESULTS

Penile metastasis is an exceptional entity despite the rich vascularization of this organ. Less than 500 cases have been described. Most cases manifestas exophytic or nodular lesions. Its association with disseminated disease conditions its palliative management in a large part of the cases, as well as an unfavorable prognosis. In selected cases, surgical treatment can be chosen.

CONCLUSIONS

Since its clinical presentation is variable, clinical suspicion is important in the presence of a skin lesion of torpid evolution taking into account the patient's oncological history.
