Résumé
Penile cancer is the malignant growth of penile cells on the external skin and in the tissues of the penis. The cancerous cells can grow and spread from the penis to the lymph nodes in the groin and eventually to other parts of the body if untreated. Penile cancer is a rare disease in which cancerous cells appear on the penis. Types:a. Cancer cells that are only in the skin of the penis and have not spread to any deeper tissues are called carcinoma in situ (CIS) or penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN)b.
Penile squamous cell carcinoma (90%)c. The remaining 10% consists of adenocarcinoma, melanoma, basal cell and sarcoma. Cause:Poor hygiene and neglect in cleansing the part of the penis covered by the foreskin increases the risk of developing the disease. Penile cancer is also seen more frequently in uncircumcised men. Diagnosis is by:A non-tender lesion that looks like a pimple or wart on penisFine needle aspiration of lumpSentinel lymph node biopsyStaging of Cancer:Stage 1The cancer affects the surface or skin of the penis, the head of the penis or the foreskin.
