Neglected Case of Penile Carcinoma: A Case Report

Penile carcinoma, most commonly squamous cell carcinoma, is a rare but aggressive malignancy, with prognosis improving significantly when diagnosed early. Social stigma, limited awareness, and poor access to healthcare often result in delayed presentation, negatively affecting outcomes. We report a middle-aged man from a remote tribal area who presented with an eight-month history of a painless penile nodule that gradually progressed to a large ulceroproliferative lesion involving the glans and shaft, associated with bilateral inguinal lymphadenopathy. Penectomy procedure was done after Histopathological examination which showed squamous cell carcinoma. He was advised follow after after 1month and later 3month subsequently.
