Cavernosography in diagnosis of metastatic tumors of the penis: 5 new cases and a review of the literature.
Secondary tumors of the penis are rare, with 266 cases having been reported. We describe 5 new cases studied by cavernosography. The primary tumors were bladder cancer in 3 patients and prostatic cancer in 2. Cavernosography suggested the diagnosis, which was confirmed by a guided biopsy or fine needle aspiration biopsy. The prognosis has been poor, with the average survival being less than 9 months.
