“…For stage I melanoma (localized lesion without métastasés) and stage II melanoma (métastasés confined to one regional area), adequate excision of the primary tumor by partial or total penis amputation together with en bloc bilateral ilioinguinal node dissection offers the greatest prospectus for cure [3,18,19,25,33,34]. Surgical removal of a superficial nodule is indicated when the lesion is considered localized disease and the patient is determined to be apparently free of disease in other sites and organs.…”

Nine cases of primary malignant melanoma of the penis and male urethra are presented. The age range of the patients was 57-77 years. Five patients had intermittent bleeding, one had pain, and three were asymptomatic. Six patients had the melanoma on the glans or prepuce and three in the urethra; two presented with inguinal lymph node metastases. Penile amputation was performed in six patients, local excision in three, groin dissection in four, and one was given radiotherapy. Postoperative metastases were seen in eight patients, four of whom were treated with surgery, alone or in combination with radiotherapy, and one with chemotherapy. Two patients are still living, at 2 and 14 years after diagnosis, respectively. Seven patients have died of their tumors, five of them within 2 years. This confirms the consensus of available reports that, irrespective of what type of therapy is used, prognosis is poor in patients with malignant melanoma of the penis and urethra.

Penile's melanoma is a rare situation, often associated with late diagnosis and high morbidity and mortality. We report the case of a 70‐year‐old man. He represented progressive skin lesions of the penile gland. A surgical biopsy with histopathological and immunohistochemical studies established the diagnosis of malignant melanoma of the penis in the metastatic stage. This case was managed by palliative immunotherapy and is currently under treatment by Pembrolizumab. Malignant melanoma of the penis represents an exceptional situation, in which only rapid diagnosis at an early stage allows treatment with optimal therapeutic results.
