ABSTRACT: A 69-year-old man was referred to our hospital with dysuria and gross hematuria associated with a rapidly growing perineal mass. Serum squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen level was high (2.4 ng/mL). Magnetic resonance imaging examination revealed a tumor posterior and inferior to the pendular urethra with a cystic lesion inside. Tumor resection together with total penectomy was performed. Pathohistological findings revealed well-differentiated SCC arising from the paraurethral region. The patient remained free of disease without adjuvant therapy at 70 months after surgery. To our knowledge, this is the second reported case of paraurethral SCC.
