Background:
- Primary malignant lymphoma of the penis is exceptionally rare.
- Lymphomas typically affect lymph nodes, making extranodal presentations unusual.
Observation:
- A 66-year-old male presented with malignant lymphoma localized to the penis.
- The patient exhibited no signs of lymph node involvement at the time of diagnosis.
Findings:
- The patient received radiotherapy as the primary treatment modality.
- Complete remission was achieved with radiotherapy, leading to a cure.
Implications:
- Radiotherapy can be an effective treatment for primary penile lymphoma.
- Preservation of penile structure and function is achievable with this treatment approach.
