Abstract
- A 62-year-old man presented to our hospital with the chief complaint of continuous penile pain and swelling for 4 months. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed an invasive bladder tumor with penile, bone, and lymph node metastases. Needle biopsies of the bladder and penile lesions were obtained, and histological evaluation of these specimens revealed urothelial carcinoma, findings which are consistent with invasive bladder cancer with penile metastasis. After several therapeutic options were discussed with the patient, he decided toundergogeneral chemotherapy. However, the patient died about 16 days after admission without treatment because of his poor general condition.
