الملخص EN

Penile carcinoma frequency varies widely in different parts of the world and comprises 1–10% of all the malignancies in males.

Majority of the cases of penile carcinoma are squamous cell carcinoma of penis comprising 60% to 70% of all cases.

Warty carcinoma of penis is an unusual neoplasm and a variant of penile squamous cell carcinoma comprising 5%–10% of all the variants.

The other histological variants include basaloid, verrucous, papillary, sarcomatous, mixed, and adenosquamous carcinoma.

The various histological entities with an exophytic papillary lesions including warty carcinoma are together referred to as the “verruciform” group of neoplasms.

The warty carcinoma has to be differentiated from these lesions and is typically distinguished by histological features of hyperkeratosis, arborescent papillomatosis, acanthosis, and prominent koilocytosis with nuclear pleomorphism.

We present a case of 65-year-old male with growth measuring 6 × 4 cm in the penis who underwent total penectomy and was diagnosed as warty carcinoma penis.
