Abstract
BACKGROUND: In 1988, Catalona proposed a modified bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy for staging of lymph node metastasis from penile carcinoma. All three patients with penile carcinoma submitted to this procedure and without histologically confirmed metastases were free of disease within a mean follow-up time of 14.6 months. METHODS: In a prospective study, the authors evaluated thirteen patients staged by the TNM system and submitted to modified bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy. RESULTS: None of the patients had histologic metastases in the medial quadrant lymph nodes. Two of these patients developed regional lymph node metastases within 13.2 months (mean follow-up time). CONCLUSIONS: Catalona's procedure was not reliable. We therefore recommend standard inguinal lymphadenectomy as the minimal treatment for patients with infiltrating carcinoma of the penis.
