| Popis: |
Carcinoma cuniculatum of the penis is an extremely rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma characterized by an endophytic deeply branching and burrowing growth pattern. One documented case series demonstrated afflicted patients ranging in age from 73–83 years with the tumour located on the glans penis, coronal sulcus or foreskin. We report a case of a 55-year-old with disease located on the ventral aspect of the shaft of the penis. The tumour was invasive into the deep dermal connective tissue, comparatively superficial to all previous documented cases. He subsequently underwent a partial penectomy. The case is discussed with a brief review of the literature. |
