Abstract

Penile tumors are rare neoplasms of the male urogenital tract and represent approximately 1% of all urogenital cancers in men. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common histological type of these tumors, and is seen in about 95% of the cases. We report a case of a 66 years old male patient presented with large, neglected cancer of the penis, which grew about 6 months, but patient was not motivated for treatment until tumor began to bleed. Patient was operated and tumor was completely removed. The early postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged from hospital Since penile cancers are rare entity, there are counted controversy about the best method of treatment. We believe that the individual approach to each patient relying on existing good clinical practice guidelines is currently the best therapeutic approach.
