Abstract
Penile cancer is a relatively rare disease and regarded as having a very poor prognosis in case of distant metastasis. This paper presents a case of recurrent penile cancer with lung metastasis in which partial lobectomy was performed following neo-adjuvant chemotherapy with methotrexate, bleomycin, and cis-platinum.
A 72-year-old male had undergone partial amputation and ingunal irradiation for penile cancer. Pathological diagnosis of the partial amputation was moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. After four months, he was readmitted because of local recurrence and lung metastasis. After combination chemotherapy with methotrexate, bleomycin, cis-platinum, we perfomed the resection of remnant local tumor and partial lobectomy.
The patiant has been very active in his daily life without evidence of local recurrence or new metastasis for more than two and a half years.
