A 44‐year‐old patient with histologically proven bilateral ulcerated lymph node metastases from a carcinoma of the penis was treated by sequenced combined chemotherapy and radical irradiation. Methotrexate and bleomycin were administered at weekly intervals for 5 weeks, followed by radiation with a split‐course coning‐down technique. The patient remains well and clinically disease‐free 63 months after commencing therapy.
