Patient Data

Age: 55 yrs at 1st ultrasound study
Gender: Male

ultrasound

US for swelling at base of penis noticed for 2 wks. Study done in 2012.

A solid mass lesion with cysitc area containing echoes is noted at base of penis. It mesures 33 x 29 x 37 mm.

Solid part shows vascularity with tiny calcification foci.

Base of Right corpus cavernosum is probably involved.

Corpus spingiosum is spared by the lesion.

x-ray

Patient was treated for recurrence at base of penis. Few cycles of chemotheraphy & a radioRx cycle during 2k12 & early 2k13. Swelling at base of penis regressed. Now complaint of anorexia vomiting for 10 days. Study done in last mth of 2013.

No parenchymal nodule. Old healed fracture of few right sided ribs.

Study along with CXR

ultrasound

Well-defined hypoechoic ovoid lesions are noted in bilateral supra-renal regions, without calcification / cystic changes.

Right measures 50 x 37 mm

Left measures 70 x 40 mm.

Liver, spleen, pancreas, both kidneys are normal. No para-aortic nodes localized. 

 

Case Discussion

Findings favor  twice recurrence of squamous cell carcinoma of penis.

1st treatment was partial amputation of penis.

1st time local recurrence at base of penis with probable right inguinal node involvement.This was treated with chemo-radiotheraphy.

Bilateral adrenal solid lesions are presumed to be second recurrence - metastasis.
