Abstract
Penile epidermoid carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor that affects men between the ages of 60 and 70. There are many risk factors for Penile epidermoid carcinoma, the common of which is infection with the human papillomavirus. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common histological type of malignant tumors of the penis. Diagnosis is based on clinical findings, medical imaging and, above all, histopathology to confirm the disease. Surgery is the treatment of choice. Survival rates are better for localized disease than for metastatic disease, hence the importance of early diagnosis. We report the case of a localized Penile epidermoid carcinoma in a 67-year-old patient who had undergone conservative treatment, surgery, and is currently under surveillance.
