title: A clinical case of the penile metastasis from the rectal carcinoma.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Penile metastases are rare and usually secondary to genitourinary and colorectal cancer.
  
  
  METHODS
  We present a case of a 77-year-old man with penile metastasis who was operated for rectal carcinoma. He was referred to our clinic for penile ulcerous lesion, semierectile penis and voiding dysfunction. Imaging studies showed nodular lesion at glans penis and multiple bone metastases. He did not respond to chemoradiotherapy and he had bad prognosis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Imaging methods and biopsy may help to clarify the diagnosis but the treatment modalities are insufficient in these patients.
