The tumour's mode of spread could not be determined clinically. Computerised tomography (CT) showed this to be through the obturator foramen, a previously undocumented route of spread. A 47-year-old man presented in January 1981 with a weak urinary stream and a swelling in his perineum. Examination revealed a fixed mass (approximately 4 × 3 cm in size) in the left anterior perineum involving the root of his penis and extending into his medial thigh.

Initial investigations included a full blood count, acid phosphatase, chest radiograph and an excretory urogram, all of which were normal. An ascending urethrogram showed extensive narrowing of the bulbous urethra. A descending urethrogram showed no obstruction with... |
