A Rare Case of Penile Metastases as a Harbinger of Primary Pulmonary Adenosquamous Carcinoma by Partha Hota, Tejas N. Patel, Xiaofeng Zhao, Carrie Schneider, Omar Agosto

“…Subsequent CT imaging revealed a spiculated pulmonary mass in the right upper lobe with PET/CT, MRI, and surgical exploration, demonstrating evidence of metastases to the left adrenal gland, right subscapularis muscle, brain, and small bowel. Tissue sampling of lesions in the small bowel, right subscapularis muscle, and penis demonstrated histopathology consistent with an adenosquamous carcinoma which in combination with the appearance of the right upper lobe mass on PET/CT imaging suggested the patient’s lung cancer as the primary lesion. …”
