Warty carcinoma variant of squamous cell carcinoma of the penis is a rare condition, making up 7% to 10% of all penile carcinomas. We present a case of warty carcinoma variant of squamous cell carcinoma of the penis in a 43-year-old Caucasian. The tumor presented in a locally invasive manner, requiring a total penectomy. The primary lesion measured over 15 cm x 16 cm, covering the entire perineum. The clinical features, diagnosis, surgical treatment and pathology are reviewed. In light of the locally invasive nature of warty carcinoma of the penis and high recurrence rate, early diagnosis and aggressive treatment is necessary for this type of unique penile cancer.

Penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PeIN) and penile squamous cell carcinoma (PeSCC) are both thought to be associated with male genital lichen sclerosus and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection through dichotomous pathways: (i) undifferentiated PeIN and warty/basaloid PeSCC are thought to be HPV related, whereas (ii) differentiated PeIN and usual PeSCC are considered HPV independent. Tissue arrays were constructed from male genital lichen sclerosus, undifferentiated and differentiated PeIN, usual-type PeSCC, and unaffected tissues. Staining for p16 and for high-risk and low-risk HPV subtypes through RNAscope was performed.

Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) is an aggressive and distinct type of oral precancerous lesion characterized by warty surfaced white plaque diffusely involving oral mucosa. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. However, PVL has persistent and recurrent growth patterns, requiring multiple surgical procedures.

Article Synopsis
- Mixed carcinomas, which represent about 10% of penile carcinomas, consist of multiple distinct histological subtypes, categorized by the World Health Organization (WHO) into two groups based on their HPV association.
- The study aimed to detect HPV genotypes in these mixed tumors, revealing a higher HPV positivity rate (46%) in carcinomas with warty/basaloid features compared to a low rate (7%) in non-warty/basaloid types.
- HPV16 was the most commonly identified genotype (65%), and the presence of HPV-associated morphology above 20% in mixed tumors is critical for classification as HPV-associated, in accordance with WHO guidelines.

Article Synopsis
- The report discusses a unique case of invasive acantholytic anaplastic extramammary Paget disease (AAEMPD) found in an 87-year-old woman after multiple treatments for a persistent vulvar lesion.
- Microscopic examination revealed unusual features such as intraepidermal acantholysis and atypical cell growth, raising concerns of both EMPD and invasive carcinoma.
- Accurate diagnosis of AAEMPD is essential as it has different treatment strategies compared to other potential conditions, highlighting the need for careful assessment in clinical practice.

Article Synopsis
- The Buschke-Löwenstein tumor (BLT) is a rare, exophytic tumor linked to low-risk HPV strains, primarily appearing as a large, cauliflower-like growth in genital areas, which can be locally aggressive and has a notable recurrence rate.
- A 68-year-old patient with multiple health issues presented with a sizable tumor causing erectile dysfunction and urinary problems, which was successfully surgically excised with reconstruction.
- Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis, and the patient's recovery underscores the importance of early diagnosis and surgical intervention to manage BLT and prevent complications like malignancy and recurrence.
