Abstract

300 cases of penile tumor are reported. The age peak was over 41 years (79.0%). Of these 300 cases, (66.7%) had redundant prepuce and 78 (26.0%) had phimosis which implies that penile tumors are closely related to those two conditions. Surgical treatment consisted of partial resection of penis in 182 (60.7%) patients, total resection in 66 (22.0%) and ilioinguinal lymphadenectomy after resection in 29 (9.7%). The pathological findings showed that in majority of cases, it was squamous cell carcinoma (270, 90.0%). Only 90 (30.0%) patients survived among the followed up patients. 20 patients have survived over 20 years and 32 over 15 years. It seems that the long term result of penile tumors after operation is better than that of other uro-genital neoplasms. Stricture of external meatus occurred in 22 patients and all were promptly relieved by dilation.
