J Am Acad Dermatol. 1996 Sep;35(3 Pt 1):432-51. doi: 10.1016/s0190-9622(96)90611-8.

Abstract

Penile tumors, although not frequent, represent a difficult diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Of the malignant penile neoplasms, the most frequent is penile carcinoma, which includes squamous cell carcinoma and its well-differentiated variant, verrucous carcinoma. Current concepts about classification, epidemiology, pathogenesis, histopathology, diagnosis, staging, prognosis, and treatment are presented.
