Abstract:
A 76-year-old man presented with urinary retention and penile discomfort. At 67-years-old, he was diagnosed with stage D2 prostate cancer and then, was treated with hormone therapy. Several nodules were observed on the glans, and histological examination of the penile tumor biopsy showed metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate. For the purpose of maintaining quality of life, transurethral resection of the prostate and partial penectomy were done. Twelve months have passed after the surgery, he is free from discomfort and progressive disease has not been observed.
