Penile metastasis in prostate cancer patients: Two case reports, surgical excision technique, and literature review.

Current Urology 2023 September
Two cases of penile metastasis from primary prostate cancer in a single center are presented, along with a literature review and description of the excision technique. Despite its rich vascularization, penile metastasis is rare, with 72 new cases from September 2006 to March 2021. There is a wide variety of diagnoses, treatments, and prognoses for penile metastatic lesions. Ga-68 prostatespecific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography is the most sensitive imaging tool for detecting metastasis from primary prostate cancer. Magnetic resonance imaging of the penis is the most reliable technique for differentiating penile lesions. Histological diagnosis is mostly performed using fine-needle biopsy aspiration. Metastasis-directed treatment is not considered to contribute to prolonged survival. Local treatment is feasible and can be offered to symptomatic patients. Owing to a heterogeneous group, defining overall survival is difficult. Survival until 46months after detecting penile metastases is described.
