Summary The 9th patient in world literature with penile amoebiasis, is reported. An extensive review of world literature suggests that the main diagnostic symptomatology in penile amoebiasis is pain with ulceration, in contrast to ulcerative carcinomas of the penis, which are painless. The possible antecedent causes could be homosexuality, venereal contacts, phimosis with resultant inadequate sex hygiene.
