Abstract

Introduction: Cancer of the penis is a rare malignant neoplasm worldwide; it represents 1 % of all cancers that affect men. It is a neoplasm characterized by a proliferative process of epithelial cells, originating from the skin of the inner prepuce or glans penis, which is identified by invasive growth and early metastatic spread to lymph nodes.
Objective: To expose the clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment of a young man with penile cancer.
Case report: Male patient 31 years of age, white skin color, with a history of previous health and urban origin; that for two years has had ulcerative, decamative, granulous lesion on the penis; not painful, with fetid secretions and that has been increasing in size. With the application of regional spinal anesthesia, partial penectomy was performed and the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the penis was confirmed.
Conclusions: Squamous cell carcinoma of the penis is uncommon in young men and has a good prognosis if it is diagnosed early and for whose diagnosis it is necessary to be especially strict with the histological criteria. Partial penectomy is the treatment of choice for the primary lesion. The follow-up of these patients is essential to act quickly in the presence of recurrence or metastatic adenopathies.
