Case report: spinal metastasis from carcinoma of the penis.
Carcinoma of the penis has a well documented metastatic pattern, regional lymph nodes being the predominant site of involvement. Distant metastasis is extremely rare, with a reported incidence of 1-10%. Osseous metastasis is even rarer and no case of metastasis to the spine has been reported previously. We present a case of carcinoma of the penis metastasizing to the spine.
