The objective of the study was to estimate the frequency of penile carcinoma at the Department of Pathology, Government Thiruvarur Medical College Hospital, Thiruvarur, a tertiary health care centre. Materials and Methods: The study included a total of 58 cases of Penis. Samples were received in 10% formalin, embedded in paraffin and stained by Hematoxylin and Eosin Stains. Results: A total of 58 cases were studied over a period of 2 years. 30 cases were neoplastic and 28 were non-neoplastic constituting 51.72% and 48.28 % respectively. The neoplastic cases were distributed as Benign - 02(6.67%), Squamous Cell Carcinoma insitu – 03(10%) and Malignant –25(83.33%) cases which included 24 cases of Invasive Squamous Cell Carcinoma and 1case of Verrucous Carcinoma. In this study, the most common location of SCC in situ or invasive, was the Glans penis 10 cases (35.71%), followed by the foreskin in 7 cases (25%) and both in 8 cases (28.57%), shaft of the penis in 3 cases (10.71%). Invasive SCC was characterized by ulcers and vegetation, usually measuring bigger than 2 cm. Among the malignant cases, 7 patients had their penis amputated. Conclusion: Squamous cell carcinoma of the Penis is rare and Invasive SCC predominated over SCC in situ. Our study, highlights the significance and implementation of protocols for diagnosis and preventive measures of patients with cancer of the penis which can certainly affect their quality of life.
