Abstract

We report two cases of penile carcinoma. The first patient was an 81-year-old male who noticed an erosive lesion on his prepuce one year prior to presentation. The second patient was a 71-year-old man with a small ulcer on his glans that had been present for five years and a history of phimosis. Histopathological examination showed that both patients had Bowen's disease. Based on the clinical manifestations and histological findings, a diagnosis of squamous cell carcionoma (SCC) was made. Although penile SCC comprises nearly 6% of all urological malignancies, it is rare that dermalogists have the opportunity to inspect this kind of malignancy. Therefore, the possibility of SCC should be considered, especially when penile ulceration is present.
