Penile metastases are very uncommon. Prostate cancer as the most frequent malignoma of the male is the main primary lesion. Metastases in the penis only occur at an advanced state of the tumour and with a high dedifferentiation, e. g., ductal adenocarcinoma. Changes in the morphology of the prostate carcinoma are specially known for the occurrence of small-cell neuroendocrine and undifferentiated carcinomas. Often prior to the transformation an anti-androgen therapy has been undertaken. At this state of the disease, there is only the possibility of a palliative therapy with a poor prognosis. The increasing histological dedifferentiation of the tumour tissue can make it difficult or even impossible to identify the primary lesion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
