Overview

On gross pathology, scaly patches or nodules, erythematous, and ulceration are characteristic findings of carcinoma of the penis.

Pathogenesis

  • Penile cancer arises from precursor lesions, which generally progress from low-grade to high-grade lesions.
  • For HPV related penile cancers this sequence is as follows:[1]

Gross Pathology

Microscopic Pathology
