Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder metastatic to the penis.
Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder has the potential to metastasize to multiple organs, and the vascularity of the penis makes it a potential site for hematogenous metastases. We present 2 cases of transitional cell carcinoma with metastases to the penis, with a review of the published reports involving penile metastases. We also discuss the presentation of penile metastases and relevant management issues in these patients who typically have quite advanced disease at presentation.
