Abstract
- Malignant melanomas of the genitourinary tract are uncommon, accounting for less than 1% of all cases of melanoma and only a small percentage of penile carcinoma. In industrialized counties, penile cancer is an uncommon malignancy, with a reported annual incidence of 1 per 100,000 men. Malignant melanoma of the penis is a rare lesion and will be encountered infrequently during urological practice. Here in, we report a case of primary malignant melanoma of the penis and a brief review of the literature.
