[Deep sarcoma of the penis: a report of 2 cases and review of the literature].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of deep sarcoma of the penis.


METHODS
The pathological and clinical data of 2 cases of deep sarcoma of the penis were analyzed retrospectively and the literature reviewed.


RESULTS
Both of the cases were treated by total penectomy. Epithelioid angiosarcoma of the penis was confirmed by postoperative pathology in one patient, who died of pulmonary metastasis in the eighth month after the operation; and epithelioid sarcoma of the penis was confirmed in the other, who died of brain metastasis in the second month after the operation.


CONCLUSIONS
Deep sarcoma of the penis is rare but can be diagnosed pathologically. Total penectomy is the main option for its treatment. Node dissection, with poor prognosis, is not recommended unless adenopathy is palpable.
