• Penile metastases are late manifestations of a primary tumor, and they are a sign of poor prognosis. We report a case of a rare presentation: penile metastases from prostate cancer. 77 year-old male presented hematuria and acute urinary retention; on physical examination multiple hard lesions were detected. The patient underwent a Doppler ultrasound, subsequent penile and prostate biopsy, and staging study. Currently he is being treated with complete androgen blockade. A histological study of the penile biopsy showed penile metastasis from prostate adenocarcinoma. The histological study of prostate biopsy confirmed Gleason 8 (4+4) adenocarcinoma. Despite of the different therapeutic alternatives for treatment of symptomatic penile metastases, it would be with palliative target; due to the median survival of these patients is less than a year.
