Popis: We present a case of an 83-year-old-male with painless penile nodules several months after he was diagnosed with pure prostatic small cell carcinoma. Penile doppler ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated solid nodules in both corpora cavernosa. Fine-needle aspiration of the nodules with immunohistochemical examination confirmed prostatic small cell carcinoma origin of metastases. Small cell carcinoma of the prostate is a rare disorder accounting for less than 1% of all prostate cancers, the penis being an uncommon site for metastasis. An extremely low number of cases of penile metastases from prostatic small cell carcinoma has been reported to date in the literature.
