Angiosarcoma of the penis is an exceptionally rare mesenchymal tumor, with only about 30 cases documented in the literature. Because of its rarity and the often nonspecific clinical presentation, histopathological examination plays a critical role in accurate diagnosis. Angiosarcoma of the penis typically arises in the corpus cavernosum but has also been reported in the glans and urethra, often presenting with metastases.

Introduction: Advanced penile squamous cell carcinoma (pSCC) is a rare and aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis and an unmet need for biomarkers. We performed a retrospective evaluation of real-world efficacy, safety outcomes, and baseline inflammatory biomarkers in patients with advanced pSCC treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of patients with advanced pSCC who received ICIs from 2012 to 2023 at the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University in Atlanta, GA.

ILND is associated with a significant incidence of complications and adverse events, specifically wound complications. Few studies have identified risk factors related to postoperative ILND complications.

Rectal cancer metastasising to the penis is an exceptionally rare clinical entity, with less than 80 reported cases. Metastasis to the penis is typically identified in conjunction with widespread metastatic disease and as such is usually associated with a very poor prognosis. We report a case of a man who presented with a metastatic deposit in his penis 15 years after the initial diagnosis of rectal cancer.
