Abstract
- We report a rare case of hybrid squamous-verrucous carcinoma of penis that grew extensively in the glans and prepuce of a 68-year-old man. He presented himself with penile discharge and pain upon voiding. The penile glans and prepuce were eroded and replaced by a large, fungating, cauliflower-like ulcerative mass. There was no inguinal or pelvic lymph node enlargement. Partial penectomy was done and histologically, the superficial spreading type, well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma was seen with only minimal invasion of the background verrucous carcinoma with a pushing margin. There were no complications and recurrence of the tumor at 12 months after partial penectomy.
