title: [Verrucous carcinoma of the penis. Report of 8 cases].
abstract: This paper presents a retrospective study of the incidence and evolution of Penis Verruciform Carcinoma, covering a series of 101 cases of primitive penis carcinomas. Incidence reaches 7.9% of all cases. Analysis of tumour evolution is made and compared with Epidermoid Carcinoma. The findings are that there is neither loco-regional nor distant gangliar dissemination and that no patient dies due to this tumour as apposed to 38% deaths in epidermoid cases. Similarly, the survival likelihood at 5 years is 100% for verruciform carcinomas against 54% for epidermoid ones. All the above confirms the benignancy of Penis Verruciform Carcinoma, which makes it recommendable for conservative therapy, whenever volume and location would allow it. Thus, performance of lymphadenectomies is not generally justified since there is no tumoral dissemination, and adoption of an expectant attitude in presence of inguinal ganglia should be advisable.
