Penile metastasis secondary to follicular thyroid carcinoma.
Penile metastases are rare and are considered to reflect end-stage malignant disease. The first case of a follicular thyroid carcinoma metastasizing to the penis is described. Local tumor control and probably enhanced survival was achieved by extended surgery of a previous pelvic recurrence and the penile metastasis and this procedure may be justified in selected cases.
