Cancer of the penis is a relatively rare pathology in our country due to the widespread practice of circumcision. Easily diagnosed on the basis of a careful clinical examination and penile Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), this cancer is often diagnosed late and poses a problem of management, particularly the acceptability of amputation of the penis. Partial penectomy is a surgical technique currently practised for cancers of the penis, when the indication arises, could be a form of conservative surgery allowing to have a good oncological result and to satisfy the request of the patient to try to preserve his erectile and sexual function. We report here a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the penis treated in our department by partial penectomy.
