Abstract
MISIARA ALVAREZ, Alfredo Ediel; RUIZ HERNANDEZ., Ihosvany; VAZQUEZ HURTADO, José Francisco and MISIARA ALVAREZ., Naybé. Penis epidermoidal carcinoma. Rev. Med. Electrón. [online]. 2009, vol.31, n.5, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1684-1824.
It deals with a 58-years-old male, white man, with antecedents of blood hypertension, and increasing lesions in the penis since around 20 years ago, with changing locations. Two years ago it was diagnosed as acuminated condylomas, but it was not treated. The patient attended our hospital because twenty days ago the lesions adopted a tumor like aspect, and began to get abscessed, to ulcerate. The case was evaluated together with Dermatology and Urology. After some antibiotic treatments, it was obtained a biopsy of the lesion. The case is interesting because of the uncommon localization of the lesions in our patient and the increased level of the disease.
