SARCOMATOID CARCINOMA OF PENIS: A RARE PENILE NEOPLASM
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 11
Abstract
Sarcomatoid carcinomas are high grade, biphasic, uncommon neoplasms which can occur in any part of the body. Sarcomatoid carcinoma of penis is very rare representing only 1% - 2% of all penile cancers. Only a few cases of sarcomatoid carcinoma of penis have been reported in the literature. Few authors consider this as a variant of squamous cell carcinoma. The tumour has both lymphatic and hematogenic spread and is a very aggressive tumour and has a high mortality rate. Treatment is surgical excision. Tissue sections show both epithelial and mesenchymal components. We report a 70 year old man with sarcomatoid carcinoma of penis which was confirmed by immunohistochemistry.
