Two cases of penile cancer: magnetic resonance imaging in the evaluation of tumor extension.
Two patients with penile cancer were evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine tumor extent. Corporeal involvement was revealed in only 1 of the 2 cases, which was delineated on MRI and confirmed histologically. We conclude that MRI, especially the T1-weighted image, is helpful in determining treatment in cases of penile cancer.
