[Metastatic tumors of the penis]

The authors present four cases of metastasic penis tumours, two of which followed a prostate carcinoma, one vesical carcinoma and the other a carcinoma of the excretory duct. They make a review of world literature on the subject and study the possible ways of dissemination as well as the clinical picture and differential diagnosis with other pathological processes of the male genital organ and they stress in particular the bad prognosis as the metastases appear at a very advanced stage of the primitive illness.
