Auto Amputation of Penis Due to Advanced Penile Carcinoma

A middle-aged man presented with progressively enlarging ulcer on the tip of penis over a year's duration and sloughing of whole penis subsequently. Examination revealed complete loss of penis and purulent discharge at its base. Biopsy of the base of the penis confirmed penile carcinoma. Imaging studies revealed extensive metastatic lesions. Palliative care was given, but he succumbed later. In this era of advanced medical care, symptoms of penile cancer are still being ignored and have lead to autoamputation of penis.
