Abstract:
Metastatic involvement of the penis is rare. Secondary lesions generally originate from pelvic tumours. Bladder and prostate are the most common primary tumours. Commonly, penile metastases occur in cases of disseminated cancer disease. We present the case of a prostatic mucinous adenocarcinoma with a solitary, PSA-negative, asymptomatic metastasis to the glans 6 years after radical prostatectomy, which was successfully treated by local excision.

The disease often manifests as a painless mass in the testicles, sometimes accompanied by a sensation of heaviness or a dull ache.
Prostate disorders are another major concern. These conditions can impair urinary flow due to the prostate's location around the urethra. Symptoms...
