Penile cancer is a rare malignancy with poor prognosis. Advanced penile cancer that invades the penile shaft and causes urinary retention could be rarely seen. We reported a 72-year-old male suffered from advanced penile cancer with penile self-amputation and acute urinary retention. We reckoned the self-amputation of penis as a new sign of advanced penile cancer.
