PENILE METASTASIS FROM PROSTATE-CANCER - DIAGNOSIS WITH SONOGRAPHY

Tumors of the penis, whether primary or secondary, are rare.(1-4,6,7) Squamous carcinoma is the most common primary tumor.(6,7) Metastases t o the penis generally occur with locally advanced genitourinary neopla sms, particularly prostate cancer. Although clinical findings of nodul arity and swelling of the penis are quite suggestive, the extent of tu mor involvement cannot be fully ascertained by physical examination.
