Article Abstract
A 74-year-old man with a history of prostate cancer and rising prostate-specific antigen underwent F-prostate specific membrane antigen PSMA)-1007 positron emission tomography/computed tomography for investigation of oligometastatic disease. There was evidence of PSMA avid local recurrence findings with pelvic and retroperitoneal nodal metastases and skeletal deposits. Although rare and could easily be mistaken for contamination, a small penile metastasis was found. This is associated with poor prognosis and could impact further management. This case highlights the importance of a detailed review of the penis, to ensure differentiation between urinary activity and pathological uptake.

The aim of this study is to report a case of penile metastasis from prostate carcinoma, as it represents a very rare occurrence that clinicians should be aware of. We report a case of a 68-year-old patient affected by prostate cancer who has performed a PSMA-PET after radical prostatectomy for PSA elevation, which revealed a suspected uptake in the corpora cavernosa and corpora spongiosum, followed by multiparametric MRI examination with focus on penile involvement.

Metastasis of a primary malignancy to the penis is rare with a limited number of reported cases this century. Of those cases, a small percentage are secondary to renal cell carcinoma, with most of these cases being caused by local invasion of prostate and bladder cancer. This report is that of a 70-year-old male who presented with penile swelling and pain, which was later determined to be secondary to metastatic renal cell carcinoma of the penis.

Rationale: Penile metastasis from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is an extremely rare clinical entity, particularly in the era of immune-checkpoint inhibitor and tyrosine-kinase inhibitor combination therapy. The mechanisms, clinical presentation, and optimal management of such cases remain poorly understood.
Patient Concerns: A 75-year-old man with metastatic RCC undergoing systemic therapy developed persistent, painful erections (malignant priapism), along with urinary retention, general malaise, and back pain, 2 years after initiating treatment.

Penile carcinoma is a rare malignancy, predominantly derived from squamous epithelium, with a partially aggressive clinical course. The 2022 WHO classification distinguishes HPV-associated (HPV(+)) and HPV-independent (HPV(-)) subtypes, a differentiation that bears significant prognostic and therapeutic implications. HPV(-) carcinomas often develop as result of chronic inflammation, e.
