Penile cancer is a rare cancer in developed nations, with metastatic disease seen in under 10% of cases at presentation. Treatment is multimodal and dependent on tumor stage, risk of recurrence, nodal involvement, and advancement of the disease. We report a case of a 49-year-old male with penile squamous cell carcinoma, who initially presented with a penile lesion but became lost to follow-up due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Therapies included surgical resection, chemotherapy, and external beam radiation therapy. His disease course was additionally complicated by its aggressive nature, poor response to first-line chemotherapy, and secondary nosocomial infections.
阴茎癌在发达国家是一种罕见癌症，就诊时转移性疾病在不到10%的病例中出现。治疗是多模式的，取决于肿瘤分期、复发风险、淋巴结受累情况以及疾病进展程度。我们报告一例49岁男性阴茎鳞状细胞癌病例，该患者最初表现为阴茎病变，但因2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行而失访。治疗方法包括手术切除、化疗和外照射放疗。其病程还因其侵袭性、对一线化疗反应不佳以及继发性医院感染而更加复杂。
