ABSTRACT
Penile cancer is a rare genitourinary malignancy for which limited treatment options exist beyond primary surgical resection. Metastatic lymphadenopathy represents a particularly poor prognosis with a lack of literature to suggest the effectiveness of radiation or systemic therapies. Our case documents an inguinal recurrence of penile squamous cell carcinoma not amenable to surgical intervention demonstrating complete response to salvage radiotherapy in the palliative setting. These observations propose the need for further research around the utility of radiotherapy in the management of metastatic penile malignancies.
