Squamous cell carcinoma of the penis is the most common malignancy of the penis.

Penile cancer redirects to this article.

General

  • Not very common overall.[1]
  • Most common form of penile cancer.
    • Non-squamous penis cancer only ~5% of cases.[2]

Epidemiology:[1]

  • Median age ~ 67 years old.
  • Usually a good outcome - 5 year cause specific survival ~ 81%.[1]
  • Possible association with sex with animals.[3]

Gross

  • Scaly patches/nodules.
  • Usually erythematous.
  • +/-Ulceration.

Biopsy

Penis, Biopsy:
- INVASIVE SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA, well differentiated.

Comment:
The tumour has differentiated penile intraepithelial neoplasia adjacent to it. The tumour is p16 negative and p53 positive.

Resection

Tip of Penis, Partial Penectomy:
- Invasive squamous cell carcinoma, moderately differentiated (G2).
-- Invasion into the lamina propria.
-- Surgical margins negative for dysplasia and negative for malignancy.
-- TNM stage: pT1a pNx.
