Abstract: | Leiomyosarcoma is a rare tumor, particularly in genital area. We present a case of penile lyomyosarcoma. Surgical treatment involved subcutaneous penectomy, preserving a sensate skin envelope, bilateral groin dissection and perineal urethrostomy. Reconstruction of the urethra and soft tissue was carried out using a free radial forearm flap. We believe that subcutaneous penectomy should be considered as a treatment option in selected cases of penile tumor as this facilitates urethral reconstruction. |
