Prostate cancer patient experiences rare penile metastases

A 68-year-old man with prostate cancer has developed rare penile metastases, a serious complication. This case highlights the importance of examining the external genital area in patients with genitourinary cancers. The patient presented with blood in urine and penile pain. Tests revealed a large prostate tumor and metastases in the liver and lungs. He received hormone therapy and palliative radiotherapy but died seven months later from liver failure. Penile metastases are uncommon, often originating from prostate or bladder cancers. They can present with various symptoms, making diagnosis challenging. Prognosis is generally poor, with many patients showing advanced cancer at diagnosis.
