RESUMEN
Squamous cell carcinoma of the penis (CA Penis) is not a rare disease in P.R. We have reviewed all cases of CA penis diagnosed in our institution from Jan. 79 - Jan. 89. Pathology and hospital records were audited. The survival data on all patients was updated via telephone or record review up to May 89. A totoal of 18 pts were seen in the last decade. Of these 11.(61%) were seen in the last four years. Four of 18 patients were exluded from analysis due to lack of staging and therapy data. The median age 54.9 y (range 23-82y). The following risk factors were identified phimosis 12/14 (86%) p=05, lekoplakia 8/14 (57%); prior venereal disease 1/4 (7%). The primary lesion appeared in the prepuce 8/14 (57%) and glans 6/14 (43%). TNM staging was done in all pts. Most pts presented with T3 or T4 disease 10/14 (71%) and palpable regional adenopathy (N1-N3) 9/14 (64%). O Of the mine pts with palpable adenopathy, in 5(56%) microscopic malignant disease was confirmed. A correlation between T3 or T4 disease and the presence of palpable adenopathy was seen (80%). The Stage at diagnosis of the 14 pts I 0/14 (29%), II 5/14 (7%), III 3/14 (21%), IV 6/14; (43%). All pts were treated with partial penectomy and 7/14 had unilateral or bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy. Long term survivors (LTS), greater than 12 mo., were seen 3/4 pts with Stage II disease, 1/3 Stage III, and 2/5 in Stage IV. The most important prognostic factor for LTS was malignant involvement of regional lymph nodes with ...
