[Penile primary melanoma; report of a case].
OBJECTIVE
An uncommon variant of penile tumor associated with chronic lymphoid leukemia is presented.


RESULTS
A case of primary melanoma of the penis associated with chronic lymphoid leukemia is presented. Diagnosis was based on the anatomopathological findings. Lymph node involvement could not be determined due to the associated leukemia. Conservative management was instituted due to the patient's age.


CONCLUSIONS
Primary melanoma of the penis is a very aggressive and uncommon tumor. To our knowledge, less than 140 cases have been reported. Hyperpigmented lesions must be biopsied to rule out melanoma.
