title: [Carcinoma of the penis: anatomo-pathologic features].
abstract: The squamous carcinoma is the most frequent neoplasia of the penis. On the pathological point of view the following parameters are used: anatomical location, histologic grade, anatomic level of infiltration, depth of infiltration, perineural and vascular invasion, surgical margins of resection and pathological type. We distinguish four clinicopathological types of squamous carcinoma of the penis, with distinctive macroscopic, microscopic and biologic features.
