One-Stage Penectomy and Phalloplasty for Epithelioid Sarcoma of the Penis in an Adolescent
2007
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.
