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]
- A. Squamous hyperplasia
- B. Low-grade penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN)
- C. High-grade PIN (carcinoma in situ—Bowen's disease, Erythroplasia of Queyrat and bowenoid papulosis (BP))
- D. Invasive carcinoma of the penis
Gross Pathology
- Scaly patches or nodules
- Usually erythematous
- Ulceration
Microscopic Pathology
- On microscopic histopathological analysis, keratinization and intercellular bridges are characteristic findings of carcinoma of the penis.[2]
