Two elderly patients had circumcisions for phimosis. A carcinoma developed in one instance where no macroscopic lesion existed previously, and the second patient had a carcinoma deep to an ulcer present at the time of circumcision, but which gave negative results to three incision biopsies. Partial amputations of the penis were performed in both instances.
