title: An explosive course of squamous cell penile cancer in an AIDS patient.
abstract: We report the case of a 37-year-old man in whom penile cancer was discovered while he was treated for AIDS 4 years after a human papillomavirus (HSV) infection. Despite initially localised disease with T1 N0 staging, he died of metastasis within 3 years. A brief review of the literature regarding HPV-related cancer in HIV-infected patients is presented and therapeutic options are discussed.
