Abstract
ABSTRACT An 83-year-old man was referred for an 18 F-DCFPyL PET scan for the evaluation of rising serum prostate-specific antigen level on the background of previous radical prostatectomy for prostate adenocarcinoma and urinary outflow tract obstruction requiring in-dwelling catheter insertion. The PET scan demonstrated focal increased activity (SUV max , 35.7) at the dorsal aspect of the mid penile shaft, with histopathological confirmation of penile metastasis from primary prostate cancer.

Abstract
ABSTRACT A 75-year-old man with a history of previously treated localized prostate cancer and prostate-specific antigen of 4.86 ng/mL was referred for a 68Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen PET/CT. PET imaging was reported to be negative. After subsequent review and re-read of the scan, prostate-specific membrane antigen imaging revealed uptake along the penile shaft (SUVmax of 14.7). MRI was compatible with tumor. Penile metastases from prostate cancer, although uncommon, do occur and readers are encouraged to distinguish penile metastatic uptake from residual urine in the urethra.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Penile metastases from prostate cancer are rare, and patients’ prognosis and survival rates are low. Conservative treatment is usually recommended for such patients with an emphasis on improving their quality of life.
Aims
The aims were to raise awareness of penile metastasis from prostate cancer and Peyronie disease among physicians and other health care professionals, as well as to provide a useful experience for future diagnosis and treatment.
Methods
The current case report is based on patient self-report and a literature review. Written informed consent was obtained from the patient.
Results
We report the case of a 68-year-old man who was admitted with a complaint of urinary retention. Preoperative examination and ancillary tests showed a 2.0-cm-long hard nodule palpable on the dorsal aspect of the penile root, which was misdiagnosed as Peyronie disease. However, a biopsy of the penile scleroma was performed, and the final pathology finding confirmed the diagnosis of penile metastasis from prostate cancer. The patient opted for continuous androgen deprivation therapy (abiraterone) and systemic chemotherapy (docetaxel and cisplatin). He was treated for 2 cycles and had no specific discomfort during chemotherapy, except for significant gastrointestinal reactions, hypocellularity, and hair loss symptoms.
Conclusion
This report describes a rare case of penile metastasis from prostate cancer, which was initially misdiagnosed as Peyronie disease, indicating that clinicians need to improve their understanding and discrimination of this disease.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Prostate cancer (PCa) is a multifaceted, heterogeneous disease (with 7 molecular subtypes), which can metastasize to common sites, such as bone, lymph nodes, liver, and lungs. However, with PSMA PET imaging, rare sites of metastasis are increasingly discovered. We report 5 cases of unusual metastases in patients with castrate-sensitive PCa: solitary right inguinal nodal metastasis, solitary abdominal wall metastasis, penile shaft metastases, solitary perineum metastasis, and pleural metastases. These cases further support the use of PSMA-PET imaging in PCa monitoring, with the ability to detect solitary, small volume, and rare sites of metastases, which may not be apparent on conventional imaging.

Abstract
Priapism is one of the most common urologic emergencies and is characterized by a prolonged and painful erectile state unrelated to sexual stimulation or sexual desire. Neoplasm-associated priapism is a rare condition and is usually caused by corporeal metastases of other pelvic area malignancies. Primary penile malignancy-related malignant priapism is extremely rare. In this reported case, an 82-year-old male presented with priapism. The penile doppler ultrasound and pelvic magnetic resonance imaging were compatible with ischemic priapism and corporal mass. Subsequently, the patient underwent total penectomy and bilateral superficial inguinal lymphadenectomy. The pathology report was consistent with primary penile squamous cell cancer (SCC), so the patient underwent adjuvant radiotherapy. However, he developed multiple metastases and could survive for about six months. The patient had undergone radical cystectomy (RC) and urethrectomy 19 and 2 years ago due to urothelial carcinoma, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case of malignant priapism due to primary penile SCC and represents one of the longest urethral recurrence periods after RC. When a patient presents with malignant priapism, primary penile malignancies should be considered in differential diagnosis, even if the patient has a history of pelvic area malignancies.

Abstract
We report a case of a 66-year-old man with prostate cancer who underwent 18F-prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography for baseline staging that revealed primary lesion in prostate gland along with a solitary metastatic deposit in the penile shaft. Penile metastasis is rare and usually associated with widespread metastatic disease. Solitary penile metastasis is even rarer and can present as a unifocal, multifocal, or diffuse lesion. Early detection is important in guiding treatment and preventing complications.

Abstract
Penile metastasis of prostate cancer is rare, with a poor prognosis, and only a limited number of relevant cases have been reported so far. With the application of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT, the biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer can be detected at an early stage for providing important evidence, facilitating clinical decision-making. Here, we have reported a case of solitary penile metastatic recurrence in the context of mild PSA progression (PSA: 0.072 ng/ml). This case highlights the preferable sensitivity of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT imaging in prostate cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Primary or metastatic urethral tumors are extremely rare. However, treatment strategies differ between primary and metastatic tumors. Therefore, establishing an accurate diagnosis is critically needed for initiating timely and appropriate therapy. CASE PRESENTATION We describe the case of a 79-year-old man with prostate cancer treated with radiotherapy and androgen deprivation therapy. He presented with macroscopic hematuria as a symptom of anterior urethral tumor at follow-up. Endoscopic tumor resection was performed. Hematoxylin and eosin staining showed adenocarcinoma component. Immunohistochemical staining revealed presence of metastatic prostate cancer to the urethra. CONCLUSION Regarding urethral tumors diagnosis, urologists should consider the possibility of metastasis from prostate cancer and perform immunohistochemical examination for establishing accurate diagnosis. Furthermore, if androgen deprivation therapy fails to suppress symptoms, radiotherapy or urethrectomy might be considered.

Abstract
The origin of penile metastases is in 70% of cases from primary pelvic cancers (genitourinary and recto-sigmoid primary tumors). The prognosis is poor and it is often associated with synchronous bone metastases at the time of diagnosis. We present the case of a 61-year-old patient who developed a penile induration 7 years after radical prostatectomy followed by adjuvant external beam radiation therapy for high-risk prostatic adenocarcinoma. Biopsies confirmed the metastatic localization and a detailed assessment failed to find any further remote lesions. Faced with this penile oligometastatic prostate cancer, we proposed an ablative treatment based on interstitial multi-catheter high-dose rate brachytherapy. At the six-month follow-up, clinical examination and 68Ga-PSMA-11-PET confirmed a complete response of the penile tumor without new lesion at a distance.

Abstract
We present a 76-year old man with a two year history of Gleason 9 prostate cancer (PCa) presenting with penile pain, erythema, and a fungating mass on the glans. Imaging at initial PCa diagnosis revealed confined disease. His prostate cancer was previously treated with radiation and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with initial laboratory response via prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels, however his PSA began to rise six months following cessation of ADT. Shared decision making resulted in partial penectomy for symptomatic management. Computed tomography (CT) and bone scan performed after surgery were not definitive for metastatic disease. Prostatic adenocarcinoma metastasis to the penis is a rare occurrence. Presentation can mimic that of squamous cell carcinoma. Treatment is often focused on improving quality of life.

Abstract
Metastases from prostate cancer (PCa) to the penis are extremely rare, and few case reports exist in the literature. Because most patients usually present with multiple distant metastases at diagnosis, the prognosis is very poor. With the wide application of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT, penile metastases may be detected at an early stage. Thus, questions regarding whether early diagnosis and precise treatment will equate to a survival advantage have recently been raised. In the present study, we reported 3 cases of penile metastasis from castration-resistant PCa. Moreover, a patient with asymptomatic penile metastases was diagnosed by 18F-PSMA PET/CT followed by lesion biopsy, and the prognosis was very well, despite with an aggressive pathological feature and low treatment intensity. In addition, we performed a literature review and found 62.5% of asymptomatic penile metastases were diagnosed by PSMA PET/CT in past seven years. Thus, we believe that PSMA PET/CT may detect more asymptomatic penile metastases in future, which led to early diagnosis, treatment and survival advantage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prostate cancer commonly metastasises to bone and regional lymphatics and more rarely to locations such as the brain, skin and penis. Gallium-68 prostate-specific membrane antigen (68 Ga-PSMA) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has widely become the routine imaging modality for prostate cancer staging and re-staging in Australia. The aim of this study was to retrospectively review all 68 Ga-PSMA PET/CT examinations performed to date at our institution to determine the frequency of penile metastases. METHODS A total of 4860 68 Ga-PSMA PET/CT examinations were performed between 16/07/2014 and 31/10/2019. Radiology reports for each examination were filtered to identify those with the words 'penis' or 'penile'. Once identified, relevant reports and images were individually reviewed to confirm the presence of a PSMA-avid penile lesion. RESULTS The incidence of penile metastasis of prostate cancer observed in this study was 0.1% with six examinations identified as having PSMA-avid penile lesions in five prostate cancer patients (age range: 71-88 years). The patients had a 1-8 year history of prostate cancer with varying severity of disease. Appearance of PSMA-avidity varied between single focal lesion, multiple focal lesions and diffuse lesion. CONCLUSIONS An incidence of 0.1% in our study confirms the rarity of penile metastases of prostate cancer. Although rare, identification of prostate cancer penile metastases is important for appropriate treatment management and symptom-relief.

Abstract
Penile metastases from prostate cancer (PC) are rarely reported in the literature. Most commonly diagnosed due to presentation with malignant priapism and other urinary symptoms or from findings on clinical examination, prognosis has been reported to be poor. The authors outline a case of penile metastasis from advanced PC. Initially treated with neoadjuvant androgen deprivation therapy for locally advanced PC, this patient displayed upfront castrate resistance, and subsequent prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography revealed penile metastatic deposits. The patient was treated with external beam radiotherapy, and worsening urethral stricture disease resulted in the placement of a suprapubic catheter.

Abstract
Penile metastasis from prostate cancer represents a rare condition, associated with poor prognosis. In the literature, authors have reported less than 500 cases of secondary penile cancers, and among these cases of metastases, only 33% are from prostate cancer. Overall reported rate of survival is about 1-24 months. Here, we present an uncommon case of penile metastasis from prostatic adenocarcinoma, with particular focus on the role of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosis and follow-up.

Abstract
Tumors of the urethra, whether primary or metastatic, are very rare. The true nature of urethral neoplasm is not always obvious clinically nor in routine histological sections. Immunostains should be performed on such lesions because of management implications. We present a case of multiple metastases to the urethra from a prostatic carcinoma, masquerading as multiple urothelial carcinomas. Pathologists and urologists should be aware of the possibility of metastasis from the prostate.

Abstract
Penile metastases are rare in occurrence and are usually secondary to other genitourinary primary tumours. It is a debilitating near terminal condition at presentation with a dismal prognosis and poor survival rates. Supportive and palliative care is generally recommended to improve the quality of life of patients. We present a case of penile metastases in a 74-year-old male patient with prostatic adenocarcinoma in association with multiple skeletal metastases.

Abstract
Although anatomically the penis is closely related to the prostate, penile metastasis from prostate cancer is an uncommon phenomenon. These patients usually present late in the course of the disease with wide spread metastasis. We report a patient who presented with a penile mass and inguinal lymphadenopathy. He was clinically diagnosed as a case of penile cancer but the penile mass as well as the inguinal lymphadenopathy was subsequently diagnosed to be metastases from carcinoma of the prostate.

Abstract
Penile cancer as primary disease is relatively rare in developed countries. The penis is a rare site of metastases in spite of its rich vascularization. Approximately 500 cases have been reported in the literature; almost 70% of primary lesions are of pelvic origin (from genitourinary or recto-sigmoid primary tumors). We describe a case of penile metastasis from lung cancer. The rarity of the event prompted us to also explore related reviews and discuss the incidence, physiopathology, diagnosis and therapy of penile secondary cancer.

Abstract
Secondary tumours of the penis are rare; they most commonly arise from the prostate and the bladder. These lesions are often associated with disseminated malignancy and have a poor prognosis, with a 6-month mortality of up to 80% reported. Penile metastases have a variety of clinical manifestations including incidental penile nodules, cutaneous findings, urinary symptoms, pain and malignant priapism. Treatment options are mainly targeted at improving the patients' quality of life and are tailored to their clinical condition, but are primarily palliative. This study reports a case of a 92-year-old man with a presentation of glandular penile metastases from prostate adenocarcinoma treated conservatively.

Abstract
Metastases of prostate cancer to the penis and urethra are rare and often represent advanced disease. We describe a case of newly diagnosed prostatic adenocarcinoma with metastases to the corpus spongiosum, cavernosum, and the anterior urethra. A male patient, 77 years of age, initially had lower urinary tract obstruction symptoms. His prostate-specific antigen level was 5.02 ng/mL. Digital rectal examination disclosed stony hard tumors at both lobes of the prostate. Transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy of the prostate revealed adenocarcinoma over both lobes; the Gleason score was 4 + 4 = 8. Cystoscopy showed a penile urethral tumor and biopsy disclosed metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate; the Gleason score was 4 + 4 = 8. The patient initially received hormone therapy. Biochemical failure developed after 15 months and rapidly progressed to a hormone-refractory stage. Docetaxel was then prescribed. The patient died in the 25(th) month after the diagnosis.

Abstract
A 62-year-old patient was referred with the suspected diagnosis of Peyronie disease. The patient showed the clinical picture of a beginning malignant priapism with hematogenous metastases from an recurrent prostatic carcinoma. The penile metastases were misdiagnosed as Peyronie disease. Although both clinical pictures show some superficial similarity, Peyronie disease usually fulfills classical criteria which help to clearly distinguish it from neoplastic diseases.
