Résumé

Penile carcinoma in situ, or Queyrat’s erythroplasia, is a rare condition of the
glans penis. This lesion has been associated with invasive squamous cell carcinoma;
however, metastasis without an invasive component is extremely rare.
There have only been 2 documented cases with metachronous metastases.
We report a third case in which metastases were diagnosed at presentation. The
patient was a 51-year-old man who presented with a glans penile lesion and
bilateral inguinal masses later determined to be carcinoma in situ with metastases
to the inguinal and pelvic lymph nodes. He subsequently underwent a partial
penectomy and lymphadenectomy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy and
radiation. This case is discussed, along with a brief review of the literature.
