Introduction: Penile cancer is a rare malignancy of the genitourinary tract. We aimed to validate the recent changes in the T2 and T3 stages of penile cancer in the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 8 edition and to compare its predictive ability with two other modified staging systems for survival outcomes.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients diagnosed with penile cancer from June 2015 to March 2020.

On surgical exploration, uterus with multiple fibroids, bilateral fallopian tubes, cervix and bilateral atrophic testes were identified.
