Abstrakt: A 70-year-old man presented to our department in October 2007 with the compliant of permanent urinary catheter presence. Serum prostate-specific antigen was 35 ng/mL. Adenocarcinoma of the prostate with metastasis to the pelvic bone was diagnosed after a biopsy of the prostate and bone scintigraphy. Thereafter the patient underwent transurethral resection of the prostate and castration. In September 2009 the patient presented to the hospital complaining of a palpable mass in the penis. Biopsy of the penile tumor revealed adenocarcinoma of the penis. Chemotherapy was prescribed. The case indicates that urologists should consider the possibility of metastasis to the penis from the prostate cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
