AI Article Synopsis
- Penile enlargement procedures, particularly injections of liquid silicone, can lead to severe long-term complications, as demonstrated by a patient who developed painful inflammatory granulomas after such a treatment.
- Over time, the patient's condition deteriorated, leading to significant impairment of sexual function and ultimately a diagnosis of penile squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) due to chronic inflammation.
- This case highlights the need for awareness of the serious risks associated with cosmetic penile procedures, as managing penile SCC is more complex and requires more aggressive surgical intervention than treating granulomas.
Article Abstract
Penile enlargement has been a controversial issue throughout history. We presented a patient who had undergone a procedure involving the injection of subcutaneous liquid silicone over the penile shaft four years prior. He developed long-term negative consequences from inflammatory granulomas. The patient's condition worsened over time, causing pain and impairing his sexual function. Eventually, he was diagnosed with penile SCC caused by chronic inflammation. Although it is rare, it is important to be aware of this probability because, compared to penile granuloma resection for symptom relief, penile SCC requires a comprehensive survey and more aggressive surgical intervention.

Background: Penile cancer is a rare malignancy treated via various surgical techniques guided by disease stage and grade with current guidelines suggesting partial or total penectomy for those with pT2 or greater. We report a case of a patient with pT2 squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the penis who underwent circumcision with left partial-glansectomy and resection of preputial mass with good oncological control while providing good urinary and sexual function.
Case Description: An 82-year-old male presented to the clinic due to a mass that doubled in size in an 8-month timeframe.

Objective: To prospectively validate the diagnostic performance of Clino-radio-pathological Risk Scoring System (CRiSS) for prediction of inguinal lymph-node metastasis (ILNM) in squamous cell carcinoma of penis.
Materials And Methods: A prospective observational study of all patients with SCC penis was conducted between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2023, at our institute. Data regarding all CRiSS parameters and MRI features of >8mm size and presence of necrosis or irregular outline were recorded, and patients were assigned CRiSS scores and groups.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Genotypes in Mixed Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Penis: A Study of 101 Tumors.

Universidad Nacional de Asunción, Paraguay.
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.
The role of prostatic urethral angle and intravesical prostatic protrusion on surgical capsule calculi formation in the prostate: A retrospective study.
Investig Clin Urol
September 2024
Department of Urology, Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taoyuan, Taiwan.
Purpose: To investigate the relationship between prostatic urethral angle (PUA) and the development of surgical capsule calculi (SCC) within the prostate, and to examine the presence and impact of intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP).
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 90 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy, with preoperative assessments using both transrectal ultrasound of the prostate (TRUS) and magnetic resonance imaging. Patients were divided into groups with and without SCC and further categorized into type 1 and type 2 stones based on the location and severity of the calculi.
