UNSTRUCTURED Melanoma of the penis is a rare tumor with a poor prognosis (1–3).We report a case of a 73-year-old patient with no notable medical history, admitted for deterioration of general condition and bilateral inguinal lymph nodes. An abdominal ultrasound and thoraco-abdomino-pelvic CT scan revealed metastatic liver nodules whose the tumoral nature was confirmed by anatomopathological examination. Further clinical examination revealed papular and ulcerated lesions of the penis located at the urethral meatus and glans penis. These lesions were biopsied and histologically assessed as melanoma.The contribution of imaging in penile tumors is generally not very useful for the diagnosis, the clinical examination being the key. However, it has its place in the assessment of locoregional and distant extension. In our case, it was the distant lesions that helped orient the diagnosis. The patient underwent under immutherapical treatment and is still alive 19 months after the diagnosis |
