Penile cancer has been rarely encountered in our practice and if it is diagnosed late, it may have devastating consequences. We report one such case of squamous cell carcinoma of penile shaft which was diagnosed and treated successfully by surgery. 50-year old male with a large ulcerative growth in shaft of penis with two more swellings in the surrounding region was diagnosed as carcinoma after biopsy. The patient underwent total penectomy and perineal urethrostomy and remained uneventful in the postoperative period. Early diagnosis and treatment of penile cancer is the main hallmark for prevention of further spread the disease and its cure.
