Background: There is no reliable treatment for penile tumor with lymph node metastasis. Methods: We report on a patient with a penile tumor with extensive regional metastasis that was successfully managed with combined laser hyperthermia, radiation and chemotherapy. Results: The patient has survived more than 7 years without evidence of disease. Conclusions: Multidisciplinary treatment, including laser hyperthermia, may be useful for the treatment of regional metastasis of penile tumor.
