BACKGROUND: Penis cancer worldwide has an incidence of 0.51- 8.3 per 100 000 males. It is treatment can be surgical, conservative or radical, with adjuvant treatment radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The objectives were: to determine histologically the most common type of penile cancer, the place of involvement, and the most used surgical treatment. METHODS: It is a descriptive, retrospective study realized in Dr. Juan Tanca Marengo National Oncological Institute, between the periods of January 2010 to December 2015. Patients with a histopathological diagnosis of penile cancer were included; the variables studied were age, location, presence of lymph nodes, histopathology, recurrence, metastasis and surgery performed; the mean and standard deviation were obtained. For the statistical analysis Excel 2016 and SPSS were used. RESULTS: The patients studied were 58 with penile cancer; it was evidenced, in relation to age, an average of 59 years and standard deviation was obtained +/- 14.74. The lesion was located more frequently in the glans 41 %, followed by a total involvement of the penis with 38 %; in the case of the nodes they were palpable in 24 patients. The most frequent histological type was squamous cell carcinoma 67 %. The most used treatment was subtotal penectomy in 62 %. CONCLUSIONS: It was determined that squamous cell carcinoma was the most prevalent histological type, being located mainly in the glans; the technique most used was subtotal penectomy. It is recommended to pay attention early when there is evidence of a lesion at the level of the penis, the early treatment of these lesions improves the patient's prognosis.
