One-stage penectomy and phalloplasty for epithelioid sarcoma of the penis in an adolescent

Piet B Hoebeke et al. Eur Urol. 2007 May.

Abstract

Epithelioid sarcoma (ES) of the penis is a rare tumour. We present a case of ES of the penis in a 16-yr-old boy, for which penectomy and immediate reconstruction with a free forearm phalloplasty, including a urethral reconstruction, was performed. Because total penectomy is a dramatic life event for any patient, the option of immediate penile reconstruction is presented. It can help to prevent major psychological problems after this kind of surgery.
