Penile metastasis from primary bladder tumour.

Objective: We present a case of cutaneous metastasis caused by a bladder tumor.

Methods: 68 year old male, diagnosed with an ISUP high grade urothelial carcinoma, affecting the whole bladder wall, including the perivesicular fat and macroscopic metastasis in the left ilio-obturator chain (T3N2MO), who presents painless induration on the dorsal surface of the glans penis with non-exudative ulcerated areas, evolving over several months. Given the negative serology result, the lesion was biopsied for anatomopathological study.

Results: The histopathological study of the lesion corresponded to a cutaneous metastasis from high grade urothelial carcinoma.

Conclusion: Approximately 370 cases of penile metastasis have been described and the primary tumor is located in the bladder in 30-35% of them. Presentation of these lesions is very heterogeneous and requires anatomopathological study of the lesion for definitive diagnosis.
