title: [Penile metastasis from rectum cancer primarily interpreted as Peyronie's disease].
abstract: We report an unusual case of penile metastasis derived from a rectal adenocarcinoma, which was first interpreted as Peyronie's disease. The patient had a single palpable mass in the penile shaft within the corpus cavernosum, with no ulceration or pain in the area. Two years earlier he had been treated for rectal cancer with neoadjuvant radiation therapy and abdomino-perineal resection. The mass in the penis later turned out to be a manifestation of widespread metastatic disease. The patient lived three years after discovery of metachronous metastases in penis and lungs.
