OBJECTIVES: To report one case of prostate carcinoma with metastasis to the corpora cavernosum. METHODS: We report the case of a 79-year-old patient with the diagnosis of Gleason 9 prostatic adenocarcinoma who presented a hard lesion on the glans penis one year after starting androgen blockade. The patient underwent palliative TURP and biopsy of the lesion. RESULTS: Pathology reported a penile metastasis of prostatic adenocarcinoma. CONCLUSIONS: Penile metastasis are rare, usually appearing in advanced stages of the primary disease; their treatment is palliative and should only be carried out in symptomatic patients.
