Purpose. To report outcome data for patients with penile cancer treated surgically with glansectomy and skin grafting. Materials and Methods. We retrospectively reviewed data on all patients undergoing surgical management of penile cancer by a single surgeon between 1998 and 2008. Outcomes in patients who underwent glansectomy and skin grafting were analysed. Results. Between 1998 and 2008 a total of 25 patients with a mean age 60 (39-83) underwent glansectomy and skin grafting. Six patients had carcinoma in situ (CIS); the stage in the remaining patients ranged from T1G1 to T3G3. Mean followup for patients was 28 months (range 6-66). Disease specific survival was 92% with 2 patients who had positive nodes at lymph node dissection developing groin recurrence. One patient developed a local recurrence requiring a partial penectomy. Conclusions. Penile preserving surgery with glansectomy and skin grafting is a successful technique with minimal complications for local control of penile carcinoma arising on the glans. Careful followup to exclude local recurrence is required.

Local therapy for penile cancer provides robust survival and can preserve the penis functionally and cosmetically. Interventions must target the appropriate clinical stage. We reviewed studies regarding the primary therapy in penile cancer, from topical therapy to radical penectomy, and reconstructive techniques.

Hereby, we present a rare case of malignant transformation in a long-standing case of pseudoepitheliomatous keratotic and micaceous balanitis (PKMB), which typically affects older men. PKMB presents as whitish or silvery keratotic plaques on the glans and can remain stable for years, leading to potential confusion regarding its progression. The patient in this case experienced urinary obstruction due to tumorous ingrowth, prompting an investigation.

Article Synopsis
- Penile shaft sparing (PSS) surgery is performed for localized penile cancer, aiming to achieve a balance between cancer control and preserving sexual function.
- A systematic review evaluated various PSS techniques and found that while oncological outcomes were generally good, most studies had a high risk of bias and lacked comparative data.
- Overall, patient satisfaction regarding sexual function and quality of life was high after surgery, although the studies reviewed were of low quality.

Purpose: Penile cancer is rare, with significant morbidity and limited literature assessing utility of peripheral and deep en face margin assessment (PDEMA) vs traditional margin assessment (vertical sections) on treatment outcomes.
Materials And Methods: This was a 32-year retrospective multicenter cohort study at 3 academic tertiary care centers. The cohort consisted of 189 patients with histologic diagnosis of in situ or T1a cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the penis at Brigham and Women's, Massachusetts General Hospital (1988-2020), and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (1995-2020) treated with PDEMA surgical excision, excision/circumcision, or penectomy/glansectomy.
