Abstract
Secondary malignancy of the penis is a rare clinical entity. Nearly three-quarters of metastatic lesions in the penis originate from genitourinary and pelvic organs (such as the bladder, prostate, and colon). Less than 25% of penile metastases arise from extrapelvic primary sites and are usually associated with disseminated disease. Fewer than 50 cases of renal cancer metastasis to the penis have been described in the literature to date. We present the case of a 47-year-old male patient with a single metastasis of papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) in the left corpus cavernosum. The patient had a history of left radical nephrectomy in 2004 and two lung wedge resections for unique metastases in 2007 and 2009. The patient complained of a growing, painless mass at the base of his penis. No other sites of metastasis were identified at staging. We performed a complete excision of the mass, and the final histopathological report confirmed the metastasis of pRCC with negative surgical margins. The patient remains treatment-free 8 years later.
