PURPOSE: We determine the value of dynamic sentinel node biopsy for staging squamous cell carcinoma of the penis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 90 patients with clinically node negative penile cancer were prospectively entered in this study. Preoperative lymphoscintigraphy was performed after intradermal injection of 99mtechnetium nanocolloid around the primary tumor. The sentinel node was intraoperatively identified with the aid of intradermal administered patent blue dye and a gamma ray detection probe. Histopathological examination of sentinel nodes included serial sectioning and immunohistochemical staining. Regional lymph node dissection was performed only if metastasis was found in a sentinel node. Median followup was 36 months (range 5 to 95). RESULTS: Lymphoscintigraphy visualized 217 sentinel nodes in 159 inguinal regions of 88 patients. A total of 208 sentinel nodes were intraoperatively identified in 149 inguinal regions of 88 patients. Sentinel node metastasis was found in 19 inguinal regions of 18 patients. Four of 8 patients with unilateral clinical stage N1 disease had a tumor positive sentinel node on the opposite site. Regional recurrence after excision of a tumor negative sentinel node or after nonvisualization was seen in 5 patients, resulting in a false-negative rate of 22% (5 of 23). The 3-year disease specific survival was 98% and 71% for patients with a tumor negative or tumor positive sentinel node, respectively (p = 0.0018). CONCLUSIONS: Occult lymph node metastases in penile cancer can be detected with a sensitivity of about 80% by dynamic sentinel node biopsy, including preoperative lymphoscintigraphy, vital dye and a gamma ray detection probe.

OBJECTIVE: To present our experience in the surgical treatment of primary tumor in penile cancer based on the accepted oncologic principles and indications for the existing surgical methods of treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 54 patients with histologically proven malignant penile cancer treated surgically at the Urology department of MHAT "St George", Plovdiv between 1975 and performed. Penile amputations were significantly more than penile-preserving operations. DISCUSSION: Differentiation and tumor stage are paramount in the choice of surgical strategy for penile cancer.

A 64-year-old man was admitted with dyspnea and edema of the left lower extremity to the Department of Medicine, and referred to our department presenting with anuria and scrotal edema. Physical examinations revealed a large nodular tumor extending from his penis to the lower abdomen. He was diagnosed with penile tumor that had invaded into the retroperitoneal space. Histological findings revealed extramammary Paget's disease. Radiation therapy, low dose chemotherapy, and hormone therapy were performed, but he died of invasion and multiple metastasis of the tumor 5 months later.

A 65-year-old male patient with carcinoma of the penis in association with bilateral inguinal lymphadenopathy and widespread cutaneous dissemination is described. Histopathological examination of the primary tumor and metastatic sites was suggestive of undifferentiated squamous cell carcinoma. The patient was administered combination chemothrapy using cisplatin, methotrexate, and bleomycin with a good response after three cycles. The case is unique because of the rapid onset and widespread nature of skin metastasis and rare presentation.

The sarcoma of the penis is a very rare tumor more exceptional is the Leiomyosarcoma of the penis for which the diagnosis required an immunohistochemical study. The prognosis for this tumor is poor. We report a case, which arise to a 53 year-old-man in this instance we did a review of the medical literature.

This case study describes the management of a patient with complex problems by a urology nurse specialist. Penile amputation and the creation of a colostomy had a severe impact on body image so the patient's care required a holistic approach. He also needed the support of community nurses, and collaboration between them and the urology nurse specialist prevented fragmentation of his care in the end stages of his life.

OBJECTIVE: To report a case of malignant melanoma of the penis, a rare malignant neoplasm whose aggressive behaviour carries a poor prognosis. METHODS: A 58-year-old male consulted for a pigmented elevated lesion in the balanopreputial sulcus. The biopsy was positive for melanoma. Complementary studies did not demonstrate disseminated disease. RESULTS: Partial resection of the penis and bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy were performed. Histological analysis showed two positive nodes in the same lymphatic chain. Interferon was administered for 6 months. The patient remains disease-free at 35 months' follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Although surgery is the treatment of choice, adjuvant therapy (chemotherapy and immunotherapy) should be considered in those patients without localized disease.

Metastases to the penis from transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder are rare. In the literature about 300 cases of secondary penile malignancies were described; 35% out of these cases were from primary neoplasms of the bladder. The Authors describe a case of priapism secondary to penile metastases from a transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder.
