Cutaneous calciphylaxis of the glans penis presenting as a gangrenous ulceration
We report a 67-year-old man with calciphylaxis revealed by an unusual necrotic ulcer of the glans penis. The patient also presented with bilateral panniculitis of the thighs and a calf ulcer. All those lesions were painful, highlighting the value of pain as a diagnostic clue. Penile involvement of calciphylaxis is rare and biopsy is often avoided in this area. However, rapid diagnosis of calciphylaxis is important because early treatment has a better chance of being successful. Our patient's condition deteriorated rapidly with development of bilateral retinal artery occlusion and he died shortly thereafter. This case furth...

Case Report: Atypical Presentation of Visceral Leishmaniasis: Two Cases from Northwest Ethiopia
We report two VL cases with atypical localizations not reported from east Africa before, both diagnosed and treated at the Leishmaniasis Research and Treatment Center, Gondar, Ethiopia. The first case was an HIV-infected patient with scrotal and penile involvement. Leishmania parasites were detected in the spleen and the scrotum. The second case was an immunocompetent individual with esophageal, laryngeal, and pharyngeal involvement and facial lesions. Leishmania parasites were detected in the spleen, skin, and esophageal biopsies. Current evidence suggests atypical presentation can occur in patients irrespective of their ...

Penile carcinoma: Practical issues, from the biopsy to surgery
Ann Pathol. 2021 Apr 2:S0242-6498(21)00072-9. doi: 10.1016/j.annpat.2021.03.001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe management of a penile carcinoma is complex, a collaboration between radiologist, pathologist and urologist is necessary to obtain a correct staging. In this review we try to demonstrate step by step how to achieve a complete pathology report, how to manage the patient (imaging, biopsy, fresh frozen section and surgery).PMID:33820662 | DOI:10.1016/j.annpat.2021.03.001 (Source: Annales de Pathologie)

Current practice patterns of society of urologic oncology members in performing inguinal lymph node staging/therapy for penile cancer: A survey study
CONCLUSIONS: Responses to a penile lymphadenectomy survey were relatively low and were primarily from the academic surgeon subset of the SUO. Significant consensus ( ≥ 70%) was noted for neoadjuvant chemotherapy for bulky nodal metastasis prior to surgery, perioperative antibiotic use, ligation of lymphatics, drain placement, and saphenous sparing dissection techniques. Other evidenced-based strategies that could decrease morbidity were rarely used, including dynamic sentinel node biopsy, incisional wound vacuums, and lymphedema prevention. Prospective trials are needed to validate and resolve existing treatment paradigm...

Penis as a primary site of an extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma: A case report
We present a case report concerning a 32-year-old male patient with a primary involvement of the penis.
Diagnosis:
The histopathology from the first penile biopsy showed a small-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma; however, that result was based on a sample obtained at a different facility than the Sarcoma Center, where the investigating pathologist did not have the adequate expertise. The patient then underwent a radical penectomy and a second reading of the histology was demanded after a radical penile amputation when Ewing sarcoma with R1 resection was confirmed.
Interventions:
The patient was referred to the na...
