Penile cancer is a rarely diagnosed cancer that affects 0.4%-0.6% of all male population. Metastases to the bones from various human cancers are common; however, acrometastases are extremely rare with the most common primary tumor from lung, kidney, and breast. We report the first case of a patient with acrometastases to the left wrist reported from penile cancer.
