Abstract

The authors evaluated retrospectively 24 cases of spinocellular carcinoma of the penis, trying to detect aetiological carcinogenic factors of the disease. Phimosis persisting since childhood was reported by ten men, whereby in five of them circumcision was performed during puberty. The duration of symptoms up to the time of biopsy and histological verification of differentiated spinocellular carcinoma of the penis varied from one month to thirteen years.

Eight patients (33.3%) belonged to category T1, 8 (33.3%) to T2 and 8 (33.3%) to T3. Fifteen tumours (62.5%) were G1, 5 (20.8%) G2 and 4 (16.7%) G3. In 5 men print cytology was negative.
