Abstract
Objective:
To report an uncommon case of basal cell carcinoma of the penis.
Methods:
A case of basal cell carcinoma of the penis is presented. This has been the only case of this tumor type detected in our setting. The literature is briefly reviewed.
Results/Conclusions:
Basal cell carcinoma of the penis is rare. To date only 20 cases have been reported in the literature. To our knowledge, no case of distant metastasis has been documented. Diagnosis by gross examination may be difficult due to the broad polymorphism of this lesion and must be confirmed by histological analysis.
