1
Q

Describe epidemiology of penile carcinoma

A

Epidemiology of penile carcinoma

  • Consistently low annual incidence rates among industrialized countries
  • Prevalence rates are higher in non-industrialized countries
  • Principally in uncircumscribed men
  • Neonatal circumcision virtually eliminates risk of invasive squamous cell carcinoma but not CIS
  • Adult circumcision does not decrease risk
  • Most common between 50-70 years of age
  • African American = Caucasian, Asian American lower, and Hispanic American higher

Q

Describe pitfalls of clinical staging of penile cancer

A

Pitfalls of clinical staging of penile cancer

  • 30-60% of palpable nodes are secondary to reactive lymphadenitis: infection, chronic inflammation

Bowen’s disease / erythroplasia of Queyrat

  • Considered premalignant lesions or CIS of penis
  • Bowen’s occur mainly on shaft, erythroplasia occurs on glans / prepuce
  • Bowen’s not associated with visceral malignancies
