ABSTRACT
Penile cancer is a rare disease. Delay in diagnosis and treatment frequently occurs and high morbidity can be observed in affected patients. The management is based on surgical resection. The inguinal node staging depends on the disease-related risk. We herein report a 95-year-old male patient, with a history of a right inguinal hernia, surgically treated. He presented with a swollen painful glans penis. The glans biopsy identified a moderately differentiated invasive squamous cell carcinoma. We have performed a complete penectomy with a bilateral inguinal lymph node dissection. The patient is currently receiving adjuvant chemotherapy based on cisplatin.
