Primary chondrosarcoma of the penis in a young patient: A case report and review of the literature

Primary chondrosarcoma of the penis is rare. We present a case of primary chondrosarcoma of the penis in a young patient. Case presentation A 35‐year‐old man presented with a painless mass at the base of his penis for the past 6 months. Incisional biopsy of the lesion revealed a chondrosarcoma. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis ruled out a primary lesion in the bones and soft tissues. The patient rejected total penectomy and decided to start chemoradiotherapy followed by local tumor resection. Conclusion Primary chondrosarcoma of the penis is rare. Interdisciplinary management plays an important role in planning the therapy for rare tumors. A combined chemoradiation therapy can be followed by penis‐preserving surgery to improve the quality of life in young patients with proximal penile tumors.
