Metastatic penile adenocarcinoma in the context of rectal cancer
A 49-year-old man was referred to the urology clinic due to the incidental finding of an 18 mm x 17 mm x 17 mm-penile mass located in the left root of the corpus cavernosum and peripheral enhancement on a computer tomography scan. (Figure 1). He had a two-year history of rectal cancer with unresectable pulmonary metastases, clinical stage IVA (T4a, N1, M1a G2). Initial treatment included loop colostomy, four cycles of capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (1700 mg/m2) as first-line chemotherapy and palliative radiotherapy (20 Gy in 5 sessions).
