Unusual presentation of carcinoma of penis.

A case of carcinoma of the penis in a 55-year-old landlord is described. He presented with a fungating growth on the shaft of his penis with an unusual history. The lesion started as a nodule in the coronal sulcus leading to thinning of urinary stream and ultimately retention of urine, which was diagnosed and treated as a case of urethral stricture. Wedge biopsy of the growth revealed the case of squamous cell carcinoma of penis. Ultrasonography and CT scan of pelvis and abdomen proved the disease to be localized to penis and total penectomy was carried out.
