Prostatic carcinoma metastasizing to the penis is rare. Prognosis is poor with survival ranging from 1 to 24 months. A patient with prostate cancer and a serum Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) level over 200 ng/ml, submitted to radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) and after 2 months presenting with two painful nodules in the penis, is described.
