Penile metastases are extremely uncommon. When they do occur the primary lesion is most often in one of the pelvic organs. Patient may present with a painful nodule, priapisfn and urinary obstruction. Treatment is usually pal-liative. Aggressive surgical approach may benefit care-fully selected patients who have no other clinical metastatic lesions.
