title: Squamous cell carcinoma of the penis.
abstract: Penile tumors, although not frequent, represent a difficult diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Of the malignant penile neoplasms, the most frequent is penile carcinoma, which includes squamous cell carcinoma and its well-differentiated variant, verrucous carcinoma. Current concepts about classification, epidemiology, pathogenesis, histopathology, diagnosis, staging, prognosis, and treatment are presented.
