[The value of biopsy of the inguinal lymph nodes in patients with epidermoid carcinoma of the penis].
Twenty-four inguinal biopsies were performed in 16 patients with invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the penis. All patients had suspicion of inguinal metastatic involvement. Five patients (31.25%) had inguinal lymph nodes involved with tumor. Among 11 patients with negative biopsies, 8 were evaluated during careful follow-up. Only 3 patients remained free of tumor at 57.61 and 80 months respectively after negative biopsy.
