We report a case of penile carcinoma in a man. The lesion had been present for 1 year prior to his visit to our clinic, and developed into a giant tumor. Histopathologically, the tumor was diagnosed as undifferentiated squamous cell carcinoma. His serum SCC antigen level was elevated to 180ng/ml. Radiotherapy and systemic chemotherapy reduced the size of the original tumor. However, satellite lesions developed on the abdominal wall, and accompanied disseminated intravascular coagulation led to his death. At necropsy, widespread metastasis associated with tumor cell embolization were found in the brain and multiple visceral organs.
