Introduction And Objective:
The penile metastasis is a rare clinical entity. The objective is to present the first documented case report of penile metastasis from right colon.
Clinical Case:
A case of a 78-year-old man who was diagnosed with penile metastasis from right colon. The patient came to our consultation complaining of colic pain in the kidney and swelling of the penile which finally result in a malignant priapism. The diagnosis was histopathologic and was treated with chemotherapy and died few months later.
Conclusion:
Metastatic lesions in the penile are extremely rare; only 300 cases have been reported in the literature. It is a sign of bad prognosis. The mechanism of metastatic spread to the penis is not well established. Even there are several treatment options, is usually paliative.
