ABSTRACT
Thirty-five patients with carcinoma of the penis were treated at the teaching hospitals of West Virginia University Medical Center during the last 15 years. All cases were epidermoid carcinoma except for one case of melanoma. Factors adversely affecting prognosis were (1) the presence of clinically palpable lymph nodes, (2) age over 65 at diagnosis, (3) location of the lesion on the shaft of the penis, (4) high stage and poor differentiation of the lesion, (5) primary lesions requiring total penectomy, and (6) proven metastases to lymph nodes.

Primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate is rare. The presence of mucin in prostatic carcinoma is usually associated with decreased tumor aggressiveness and increased survival rates. When mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate is found, it is necessary to exclude extraprostatic primary sources particularly from the urinary bladder and the gastrointestinal tract.

A case of bilateral testicular metastases from carcinoma of the colon is reported. A review of the literature on secondary testicular tumors reveals their rarity and speculation is made as to the routes of metastases.
