Sriram Christopher

Abstract :

 

Penile cancers are rare group of malignancy usually presents as a superficial lesion which accounts for 0.5% of all cancers among men  in developed countries . Although rare , they are associated with significant deformities and only half of the patients survive beyond 5 years .  primary lesion and lymphnodes must be properly evaluated since nodal involvement is important for survival . Squamous cell carcinoma is most common type . The inguinallymph nodes are the most common site of metastasis. 30-50 percent of patients have palpable inguinal lymph nodes with superficial penile growth at the time of diagnosis . 50 percent of those have metastatic lymph nodes and other 50 percent of those have inflammatory reaction .rarely cases are reported presenting as inguinal metastasis without significant  lesion in penis clinically as in our case .
