Unfortunately, the underlying mechanisms are not well elucidated, and prognosis remains poor with a late onset and median overall survival of 9 months for colon adenocarcinoma. Secondary penile cancer often presents alongside concurrent metastases months or years following successful treatment of the primary tumor. However, we report a case of an isolated penile metastasis as the presenting symptom of colon adenocarcinoma with no identifiable primary lesion or history of malignancy.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Case Summary:<\/jats:bold>\n                    A 67\u2010year\u2010old African\u2010American male presented with a 1\u2010month history of voiding symptoms, whereupon follow\u2010up revealed a penile mass near the left base of the penis. Postoperative histopathological, immunohistochemical, and genomic analyses revealed characteristics of invasive and metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma. Initial diagnostic testing revealed elevations in serum tumor markers CA 19\u20109 and carcinoembryonic antigen, while whole body PET\/CT scan and colonoscopy failed to identify any tumorigenic lesions or primary colorectal malignancy. Although hypermetabolic activity was noted near the base of the penis and bilateral inguinal lymph nodes, the patient is currently on chemotherapy with a modified FOLFOX\u20106 regimen with active surveillance and no adverse effects.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Here, we report a rare case of isolated penile metastasis as the first presentation of colon adenocarcinoma with no primary lesion. Regardless of origin, secondary penile cancer is a rare phenomenon with a poor prognosis. While the exact mechanism of spread is uncertain, the most probable mode of dissemination is through venous networks. There is also no standard of treatment relying on surgical, therapeutic, and palliative management. Although unclear, our unique presentation may portend a more favorable prognosis with continued treatment and observation.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/criu\/8856762","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,26]],"date-time":"2025-05-26T06:35:26Z","timestamp":1748241326000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Penile Metastasis as the Presenting Symptom of Colorectal Carcinoma: A Rare Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2025","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-0193-6102","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mann","family":"Patel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alain","family":"Kaldany","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1142-2298","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Farida","family":"Tanko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7845-7479","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrew","family":"Parrott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5886-3835","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas L.","family":"Jang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4081\/oncol.2012.e10"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1477-7800-3-33"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12998\/wjcc.v10.i31.11658"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000491594"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12894-015-0014-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_2","volume-title":"Colon Cancer","author":"Lotfollahzadeh S.","year":"2023"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/srep29765"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eucr.2019.100875"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_2","first-page":"763","article-title":"Penile Metastasis: An Unusual Presentation of Metastatic Colonic Cancer","volume":"47","author":"Banerjee G.
