RESUMEN
We describe a case of primary penis lymphoma in a 71 yr old man. We review the bibliography and we emphasize the peculiarity and different sorts of clinical presentation. The initial symptoms were insidious. Physical examination and ultrasound findings made it indistinguishable from other tumors. A MRI confirmed the presence of a tumoral process with a homogeneous density in the distal part of the penis whose biopsy with immune histological processing confirmed us the diagnosis of primary penis lymphoma. The combined treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy allowed preserving the sexual organ and being without disease at 48 month of follow up.

Se describe un caso de linfoma primario de pene en un paciente de 71 años. Se revisa la bibliografía destacando su extrema rareza y las diferentes formas clínicas de presentación. La clínica fue insidiosa, y los datos de la exploración física y los hallazgos ecográficos la hicieron indistinguible de otras neoplasias. La resonancia magnética confirmó la existencia de un proceso neoformativo de densidad homogénea en la parte distal del pene, cuya toma biópsica junto con las técnicas de inmunohistoquímica confirmó el diagnóstico de linfoma de pene. El tratamiento combinado de quimio y radioterapia permitió conservar el órgano, encontrándose el paciente a los 48 meses libre de enfermedad (AU)
