Sarcomatoid Carcinoma of the Penis.

Sarcomatoid carcinomas are biphasic tumours, which occur at any site in the human body. It rarely affects the penis, with only 38 cases being reported in literature. It may be considered as a variant of squamous cell carcinoma or a dedifferentiated tumour. We report a 60-year old gentleman who presented with a swelling in the glans penis. He underwent a partial penectomy. Histopathology revealed sarcomatoid carcinoma of the penis, which was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. The rarity of this clinical entity makes its diagnosis difficult.
