ABSTRACT
Herein we describe a 37-year-old patient diagnosed as having Hodgkin's disease of penis. To our knowledge, the present case is the youngest reported in the literature. The disease equally affected the body, prepuce and balanopreputial groove and was in stage I E at the time of diagnosis. Treatment was by radiotherapy, which left no trace of the disease. Four years thereafter the patient is disease-free. The cases previously reported are briefly reviewed and the results are compared.
