Abstract
The incidence of penile cancer is relatively low among the tumors of the urological system, but it may severely affect the mental and physiological health of the patients. In recent years, more and more evidence has lent support to the role of organ-sparing surgery in the treatment of early-stage penile cancer, which has the advantages of maintaining urinary and sexual intercourse functions and desirable penile appearance. Meanwhile, videoscope- and robot-assisted dissection of the lymph nodes has been applied clinically, though whether it could reduce postoperative complications remains to be further observed. This systematic review updates the diagnosis and surgical treatment of penile cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Historically, groin dissections are associated with high morbidity. Various modifications have been described in the literature with inconsistent outcomes. The aim of this paper is to highlight modified skin bridge technique to minimize all post-operative complications of groin dissection without compromising early oncological outcomes. METHODS A retrospective descriptive study of the computerized cancer database was performed to retrieve details of all the cancer patients who had undergone groin dissections during January 2012 to September 2016. Data pertaining to clinical profile including demographics, clinical and histopathological details, treatment profile, procedure-related morbidity and relapse patterns were extracted and analysed. RESULTS A total of 75 patients underwent 105 groin dissections during this period. Out of 105 groin dissections, 43 were inguinal lymph node dissection (ILND) and 62 were combined ilio-inguinal lymph node dissection (IILND). The most common diagnosis was carcinoma penis (25%) followed by malignant melanoma (14.6%) and squamous cell carcinoma (13.33%) of lower extremities. Overall, the most common complications were seroma (14.28%) and skin edge necrosis (7.61%) followed by surgical site infection (4.76%). After a median follow-up of 17.64 months (IQR 5-61.53), a total of 18 patients (24%) developed recurrence. CONCLUSION Groin dissection still remains an important diagnostic as well as therapeutic procedure justifying its potential of morbidity. Modified skin bridge technique is a very effective method to minimize all post-operative complications with optimal early oncological outcomes.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the overall scar satisfaction and quality of life in the conservative surgical treatment of penis cancer with reconstruction according to the Bracka technique. In order to do this, we passed out the questionnaire «Patient Scar Assessment Questionnaire» and the IIEF-15 questionnaire. From 2015 to 2017, 5 conventional glandectomy and reconstruction according to the Bracka technique were performed. 100% of the patients were very satisfied with the result, were slightly aware of the presence of the wound and lacked discomfort in relation to the scar. Regarding the quality of sexual life, an average improvement of 18 points was observed in the IIEF-15. We observed improvement in satisfaction of the sexual relationship (P6-8), orgasmic function (P9-10), overall satisfaction (P13-14) and confidence to maintain sexual intercourse (P15). Lesions at the level of the penis represent an important alteration in quality of sexual life. By performing a minimally invasive surgery with subsequent reconstruction, the patient presents a significant improvement in the quality of sexual life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few data exist to guide surgical management and counseling about local recurrence after surgery of primary male genital melanoma. OBJECTIVE To compile all available data on local recurrence rates after surgery of primary cutaneous melanoma of the penis and scrotum. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic review of PubMed, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Excerpta Medica database (EMBASE), and Web of Science identified all surgically treated penile and scrotal melanomas that reported local recurrence status and follow-up time. RESULTS One hundred twenty-seven melanomas from 74 manuscripts were included. Eighty-six percent of melanomas were located on the penis, and 14% were located on the scrotum. Average follow-up time was 35.7 months. Scrotal melanomas were predominantly treated with organ-sparing surgeries (16/18, 88.9%), whereas penile melanomas were treated more often with amputation (61/109, 56.0%). Overall, local recurrence rate was 15.7% (20/127). Local recurrence rates for penile cases were 18.8% (9/48) after organ-sparing surgery versus 13.1% (8/61) for amputative surgery. Local recurrence rates were 66.7% (4/6) after positive surgical margins versus 10.2% (5/49) after negative surgical margins. CONCLUSION Local recurrence rates are high after both organ-sparing and amputative surgery of primary cutaneous melanoma of the penis and scrotum. There is a need to standardize reporting for this rare tumor, as more complete data are necessary to develop consensus guidelines for surgical management of male genital melanoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objectives of this study were to determine the minimum incidence of penile cancer in the poorest Brazilian state, and to describe the epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of patients diagnosed with the disease. METHODS A retrospective study of 392 patients diagnosed with penile cancer in the three most important referral center in the state was conducted during 2004-2014. RESULTS The age-standardized incidence was 6.15 per 100,000 and the crude annual incidence was 1.18 per 100,000. More than half (61.1%) of the tumors were histological grades 2 and 3, and 66.4% of tumors were classified as at least stage T2. The average age of patients was 58.6 ± 15.7 years (range, 18 to 103 years), with 20.8% of patients ≤40 years of age at diagnosis. The vast majority underwent penectomy (93%). Only 41.8% underwent lymphadenectomy, 58 patients (14.8%) received chemotherapy, and 54 patients (13.8%) received radiotherapy. Stage 3/4 and vascular invasion were statically significant at disease-free survival analysis. CONCLUSION The state of Maranhão has the highest incidence of penile cancer in Brazil and globally. Tumors are locally advanced and at the time of diagnosis, and there is a high frequency among young individuals. Patients have a low socioeconomic status, making it difficult to complete treatment and receive appropriate follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lymphadenectomy represents the standard treatment for various types of cancer. The introduction of robotics in lymph node dissection may have an important impact on post-lymphadenectomy complications. METHODS A systematic literature review was performed. RESULTS In our review, robotic inguinal lymphadenectomy was performed on 51 patients. Penile squamous cell carcinoma was the most common histological type of the primary neoplasia. No intra-operative complications were reported. One case of conversion to open was reported. The mean duration of hospitalization was 2 days. The duration of drainage ranged from 7 to 72 days. The most common postoperative complications were lymphocele (13.7%), lymphedema (7.8%), cellulitis (7.8%), seroma (3.9%), abscess (3.9%), wound breakdown/wound infection (3.9%), sepsis (1.9%), prolonged lymphorrhea (1 out of 51 patients, 1.9%) and skin necrosis (1 out of 51 patients, 1.9%). CONCLUSIONS Until now there has not been sufficient evidence regarding the role of robotics in groin lymph node dissection, though this approach appears to be safe and oncologically effective, with morbidity rates relatively lower compared to open surgery.

Abstract
Penile squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with considerable urethral extension is uncommon and difficult to manage. It often is resistant to less invasive and nonsurgical treatments and frequently results in partial or total penectomy, which can lead to cosmetic disfigurement, functional issues, and psychological distress. We report a case of penile SCC in situ with considerable urethral extension with a focus of cells suspicious for moderately well-differentiated and invasive SCC that was treated with Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS). A review of the literature on penile tumors treated with MMS also is provided.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to describe the clinical case of a patient suffering from a gland carcinoma with bilateral inguinal and pelvic lymph node metastases in treatment with weekly administrations of Docetaxel. After two therapy cycles, the patient developed an atypical uremic hemolytic Syndrome (SEUa), treated with infusions of frozen fresh plasma, hemodialysis, and antibiotics. Because of a severe septic secondary complication on an extensive lymph node abscess, the administration of Eculizumab was not possible. The patient survived the mentioned Syndrome and is currently in periodic dialysis treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Real-time visualization fluorescence imaging can guide surgeons during tissue resection. Unfortunately tissue induced signal attenuation limits the value of this technique to superficial applications. By positioning the fluorescence camera via a dedicated navigation setup we reasoned that the technology could be made compatible with deeper lesions, increasing its impact on clinical care. Such an impact would benefit from the ability to implement the navigation technology in different surgical settings. For that reason we evaluated whether a single fluorescence camera could be navigated toward targeted lesions during open and laparoscopic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS A fluorescence camera with scopes available for open and laparoscopic procedures was integrated with a navigation platform. Lymph nodes identified on SPECT/CT (single photon emission computerized tomography/computerized tomography) or free-hand single photon emission computerized tomography acted as navigation targets and were displayed as augmented overlays in the fluorescence camera video feed. The accuracy of this setup was evaluated in a phantom study of 4 scans per single photon emission computerized tomography imaging modality. This was followed by 4 first in human translations into sentinel lymph node biopsy procedures for penile (open surgery) and prostate (laparoscopic surgery) cancer. RESULTS Overall the phantom studies revealed a tool-target distance accuracy of 2.1 mm for SPECT/CT and 3.2 mm for freehand single photon emission computerized tomography, and an augmented reality registration accuracy of 1.1 and 2.2 mm, respectively. Subsequently open and laparoscopic navigation efforts were accurate enough to localize the fluorescence signals of the targeted tissues in vivo. CONCLUSIONS The phantom and human studies performed suggested that the single navigation setup is applicable in various open and laparoscopic urological surgery applications. Further evaluation in larger patient groups with a greater variety of malignancies is recommended to strengthen these results.

Abstract
RATIONALE Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare, malignant neoplasm, which mostly occurs in the upper and lower extremities. This article presents an unusual case of ASPS involving the penis of a 3-year-old boy. To our knowledge, this is the first case of ASPS in the penis of a child. PATIENT CONCERNS The patient complained of slight penile pain for 1 year and a soft tissue mass could be palpated in his penis. DIAGNOSES Imaging was performed on the penis. The pathological feature of the mass was evaluated through biopsy examination. It was found that the mass was an alveolar soft tissue sarcoma, which was then confirmed by immunohistochemistry. INTERVENTIONS The patient only underwent a partial penectomy because his parents wished to keep the penis. Conventional chemotherapy has been performed for 6 months after the surgery. OUTCOMES At 28-month follow-up the mass did not increase apparently, and no signs of metastasis were found. LESSONS ASPS may occur originally in the penis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although the trend towards penile sparing therapy is increasing for penile squamous cell carcinoma, outcomes for laser ablation therapy have not been widely reported. We assessed the clinical outcomes of penile cancer patients treated with only laser ablation. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review was performed on 161 patients across 5 multi-center tertiary referral centers from 1985 to 2015. All patients underwent penile sparing surgery with only laser ablation for squamous cell carcinoma of the penis. Laser ablation was performed with neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet or carbon dioxide. Overall and recurrence-free survival was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared with the log rank test. RESULTS A total of 161 patients underwent laser ablation for penile cancer. The median age was 62 (IQR: 52-71) years and median follow-up was 57.7 (IQR: 28-90) months. The majority of patients were pTa/Tis (59, 37%) or pT1a (62, 39%). Only 19 (12%) had a poorly differentiated grade. The 5-year recurrence-free survival was 46%. When stratified by stage, the 5-year local recurrence-free survival was pTa/Tis: 50%; pT1a: 41%; pT1b: 38%; and pT2: 52%. The inguinal/pelvic nodal recurrence was pTa/Tis: 2%; pT1a: 5%; pT1b: 18%; and pT2: 22%. There were no differences among stages with respect to recurrence-free survival (P = 0.98) or overall survival (P = 0.20). CONCLUSION Laser ablation therapy is safe for appropriately selected patients with penile squamous cell carcinoma. Due to the increased risk of nodal recurrence, laser ablation coupled with diagnostic nodal staging is indicated for patients with pT1b or higher.

Abstract
Adenomatous hyperplasia of the rete testis (AHRT) is an uncommon abnormality first described by Nistal and Paniagua in 1988. Congenital and acquired forms of AHRT are recognized. We present a case of AHRT in a patient who underwent bilateral orchiectomy for penile carcinoma; he had received chemotherapy for Hodgkin lymphoma 18 years prior. Proposed causes for this disorder include developmental, hormonal, and paracrine induction by adjacent testicular tumors and exposure to chemicals, based on clinical contexts but without experimental support. We performed immunohistochemical studies using markers of cell cycle (cyclin D1, p16), proliferation (Ki-67), apoptosis (bcl2), senescence (γ-H2AX), and androgen receptors to try to provide scientific support for or refute existing hypotheses. Our results indicate that, in this case of acquired AHRT after chemotherapy, the process is neither adenomatous nor hyperplastic but rather represents abnormal accumulation of rete testis cells with acquired senescence.

Abstract
RATIONALE Melanoma in situ of the penis is very rare and there are no clear guidelines for its surgical treatment. PATIENT CONCERNS The authors describe the case of a 69-year-old man who presented with an asymptomatic brown macula on his glans penis and foreskin that appeared about 8 years earlier, enlarged in the last few months. DIAGNOSES A diagnostic biopsy showed the characteristics of a melanoma in situ. INTERVENTIONS The authors decided to excise the lesion keeping a healthy margin of 1 cm all over around except close to the urethral meatus, where it was impossible, and where only 5 mm of free margin was excised. A full thickness mucosal graft from oral cavity was performed to repair the defect. OUTCOMES No recurrence or metastasis occurred during 50 months after the operation. LESSONS Considering that at the sixth clinical follow-up the patient was alive and disease free at 50 months after surgery, the chosen treatment has proved successful.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metastasis to the penis from primary lung cancer is quite rare. To improve the understanding, we present a case diagnosed as penile metastasis from primary lung cancer and review the literature. METHODS One case report and retrospectively analysis penile cancer patient secondary from primary lung cancer. RESULTS The patient complained of perineal pain and burning on urination for about 2 months. On physical examination, painful nodular masses at the base of left side of the corpora cavernosa were found. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT (PET/CT) scan showed that maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) in left side corpora cavernosa and right hilar increased to 12.0 and 13.5 respectively. On flexible bronchoscopy checking, stenosis of the opening of apical segmental and posterior segmental bronchi of right upper lobe was found. The lateral segmental bronchi of left lower lobe was obstructed by a neoplasm. The pathological result was primary pulmonary adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC). Two months later, total penectomy was performed. The pathological result was penile ASC derived from pulmonary. On reviewing the literature, there are 39 cases reported. The patient we present is the 40 one. The average age at diagnosis was (60.5 ± 10.7) years old. The most common symptom was mass, followed by priapism, pain. The overall survival time was (4.5 ± 3.9) months. CONCLUSIONS The penis may be a site of metastasis from lung cancer, especially for old patient. Metastasis to the penis usually indicates that the primary lung cancer is at an advanced stage and the prognosis is very poor.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the therapeutic effect of surgery in patients with advanced penile cancer, who have a dismal prognosis. Patients and methods Between September 2007 and July 2015, we treated 12 patients with surgical therapy. Results The median follow-up period for all the patients was 16 months (range 4–60 months). The outcome and concomitant symptoms were analyzed, and the survival rates were calculated. Three of the patients are currently alive. The median overall survival of the patients was 9 months (range 4–13 months). Conclusion The present results suggest that surgery is a valuable treatment option for patients with advanced penile cancer. The prognosis of advanced penile cancer is closely related to lymph node and distant metastases. Flap repair can solve the problem of large area skin defect. Advanced penile cancer is difficult to treat regardless of chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and surgery cannot prolong the lives of patients. However, the dissection of lesions and repair of large area skin defects can dramatically improve the quality of life of patients, especially those with locally advanced disease without distant metastasis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report and analyze the outcomes of endoscopic inguinal lymph node dissection (E-ILND), inclusive of video endoscopic ILND (VEIL) and robotic-assisted ILND (RAIL) approaches, in the largest reported series to date. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively identified men with penile cancer who underwent E-ILND. Nodal resection volume, perioperative parameters, and postoperative complications were assessed and analyzed. A subset analysis of complications by tumor and operative characteristics was performed to determine the impact of these variables on complication rates. RESULTS A total of 34 E-ILND, comprising 7 VEIL and 27 RAIL limbs, were performed. Median nodal yield was 10.0 (interquartile range [IQR] 6.0-12.5) in all E-ILND limbs and 8.0 (IQR 13.0-23.0) in RAIL limbs. Median length of stay was 1 day (range 1-3) following E-ILND and RAIL procedures. The saphenous vein was spared in 57% (4/7) of VEIL and 100% (27/27) of RAIL limbs. Postoperative complications occurred in 33% (6/18) of E-ILND, including 21% (3/14) of RAIL patients. Median follow-up was 5.5 months (IQR 3.0-10.8), during which time 3 patients developed regional or distant metastases at a median duration of 1.7 months (IQR 0.9-3.9). CONCLUSION E-ILND is feasible from a technical standpoint, and our results demonstrate that lymph node counts are comparable with an open approach. Importantly, E-ILND has the potential to reduce complication rates and time to convalescence when compared with open ILND.

Abstract
The treatment of metastases of penile cancer is confined to lymphatic metastases. Limited lymph node metastasis in penile cancer can be cured by radical lymph node surgery if complete removal of all lymph nodes of the region is achieved. Adjuvant chemotherapy is recommended. This approach applies to the regional lymph nodes of the inguinal and pelvic regions. Applying this concept to retroperitoneal lymph node metastases may also be reasonable in selected cases. The individual prognosis depends on the extent of lymphatic spread.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of surgery on advanced penile cancer without distant metastasis and the factors influencing the prognosis. METHODS Between September 2007 and July 2015, we treated 8 cases of advanced penile cancer without distant metastasis by penectomy and lymph node dissection. The patients were aged 37-67 (mean 51.1) years. We followed up the patients for 4-60 (mean 19.25) months postoperatively and analyzed the surgical effects and the factors affecting the prognosis. RESULTS Three of the patients remained alive while the other 5 (62.5%) died at 4-13 (mean 9) months after surgery. No significant complications were observed and myocutaneous flap repair showed good prognosis in 4 of the patients with largearea skin defect. CONCLUSIONS Surgery is comparatively a valuable option for the treatment of advanced penile cancer without distant metastasis, though with a poor prognosis, and the important factor affecting its prognosis is lymph node metastasis. Flap repair can solve the problem of largearea skin defect after surgery. However, evidence is not yet sufficient to prove the effectiveness of multimodality therapy of this malignancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Short-term survival of penile cancer is poor. The objective was to describe the 5-years penile cancer survival. METHODS Retrospective cohort study. We included patients with penile cancer managed surgically from 2010 to 2014. Descriptive statistics were used for socio-demographic variables and the Kaplan-Meier estimator for survival function. RESULTS We studied 22 patients with a mean age of 64.95 years and a time of evolution of 25 months after the diagnosis. 68.2% of patients smoked or had human papillomavirus (HPV); they all presented phimosis; 72.7% had pain in the penis and the groin area; 81.8% had palpable lymph nodes and 45.5% lesions ≥ 3 cm; 86.3% were diagnosed in clinical stage IIIa. 59.1% underwent partial penectomy and 86.4% had squamous cell variety. 40.9% of patients died six months after the surgery. 66% of the smokers presented metastasis; all of the patients that smoked and had HPV infection had neurovascular invasion and died; 83.3% of the patients (n = 6) who underwent partial penectomy and positive lymph node dissection due to metastases died. The 5-years mortality of patients with penile cancer was 40.9%. CONCLUSION Tobacco use and HPV increase morbidity and mortality in patients with penile cancer; lesions greater than 5 cm are more common in smokers. The size of the lesion increases with the delay in treatment.

Abstract
Basal cell carcinoma accounts for most skin malignancies. Genital basal cell carcinoma, however, is very rare. We report the first case of superficial basal cell carcinoma involving the inner surface of foreskin. Shared expertise within a multidisciplinary clinic was necessary for early diagnosis of the present case.
