Abstract

A 65-year-old man presented with a giant ulcerative and malodorous genital mass rapidly growing for 5 months. On first presentation, he noticed a 3 cm × 2 cm cauliflower-like mass located in the penile dorsal shaft. But, he rejected any operation. Unfortunately, the lesion became aggressive and eventually destroyed the entire penile shaft and urethra within a five-month period. He underwent a radical penectomy, scrotal extended resection, formation of a perineal urethrostomy and left inguinal lymph node biopsy. Pathology revealed poor-differentiated invasive squamous cell carcinoma. The patient had an uneventful recovery.
