Abstract:
A 61-year-old man visited our department with the complaint ofa palpable hard mass in the penile shaft which showed a significant uptake on fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (FDG PET-CT). He had undergone a surgery for local invasive esophageal cancer and had received adjuvant chemotherapy. Open biopsy revealed metastases in the carvenous body and the glans of the penis from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. He died from the cancer 5 months after the biopsy in spite of additional chemotherapy.
