[Penile malignant melanoma of the glans penis].

We present the case of a patient with malignant melanoma of the glans penis, which was found in a 53-year-old man with two pigmented lesions on penis. The patient was referred to partial surgical excision of the glans. The defect was covered with a full-thickness skin graft followed by left inguinal lymphadenectomy as second procedure by which a melanoma metastasis was found. The patient was well-being until two years after the surgery, when a metastatic melanoma was discovered in his right lung and in his liver. Early diagnosis is of paramount importance, as the prognosis becomes very poor if the tumour stage is advanced.
