Abstract We report a 51‐year‐old man with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) on his penis. He was surgically treated for his phimosis when he was 20 years old. He presented with an indurated nodule on the tip of his penis. The tumor was treated with partial penectomy and standard inguinal lymphadenectomy. Histological examination revealed that the tumor was a well‐differentiated type of SCC. A polymerase chain reaction was performed to detect human papilloma virus (HPV) DNA. The result revealed the presence of HPV in the SCC. The results of sequencing analysis showed that the DNA was HPV 31.
