Priapism Secondary to Penile Metastasis of Cecum Carcinoma

Abstract

Metastatic penile carcinoma is rare and usually originates from genitourinary tumors. Approximately 300 cases have been reported to date. Progression of cecal carcinoma usually occurs by metastasis through hematogenous or lymphatic routes, with liver and lymph nodes as the most commonly involved organs. Metastatic penile carcinoma from cecum adenocarcinoma is rare. We report on a patient who initially presented with priapism that was found to be penile metastasis from cecum carcinoma. Despite surgical treatment, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, this patient died of disease progression.
