Presentation of one case of penial metastasis originated in a epidermic-like carcinoma of the lung. In spite of the rich vascularization of this organ penial metastasis are uncommon; prostate, bladder and rectum tumours being the ones which metastatize more often. Lung metastasis are extremely rare, and only one case has been published in the reviewed national literature. Diagnosis must be established by biopsy of the lesion, ruling out any other benign disease. The treatment used is generally palliative, although the options of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are available. Prognosis is, however, very poor and unrelated to the type of treatment applied. |
