Penile metastasis secondary to follicular thyroid carcinoma

Scand J Urol Nephrol. 2004;38(3):253-5. doi: 10.1080/00365590310025380.

Abstract

Penile metastases are rare and are considered to reflect end-stage malignant disease. The first case of a follicular thyroid carcinoma metastasizing to the penis is described. Local tumor control and probably enhanced survival was achieved by extended surgery of a previous pelvic recurrence and the penile metastasis and this procedure may be justified in selected cases.
