title: [Report of a case of penile epithelioid sarcoma].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To enhance the knowledge and the effect of the diagnosis and treatment of primary epithelioid sarcoma of the penis.
  
  
  METHODS
  One rare case of primary epithelioid sarcoma of the penis was studied with regard to its primary clinical process and characteristics, differential diagnosis and method of treatment.
  
  
  RESULTS
  An operation was performed on the penis to treat the epithelioid sarcoma. The diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistological and pathological techniques. There was no evidence of relapse during the three-year follow-up after operation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The possibility of primary epithelioid sarcoma of the penis should be considered if a mass or induration of the proximal penis and the symptoms of urethremphraxis are found. Total phallectomy could be chosen as an appropriate method of treatment. Unless adenopathy is palpable, node dissections are not recommended.
