It was conducted over a 20-year period from 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2024.Results: The frequency was 1.05 cases per year. The mean age of the patients was 60.23\u00b113.10 years. A proportion of 76.19% (n=16) of patients were uncircumcised. One patient was HIV positive. Ulceration of the penis was the main reason for consultation (88.23%). The average time to consultation was 11.7\u00b111.37 months. Phimosis was observed in 2 patients. The histological type found was squamous cell carcinoma in all cases. Stage cT3 was the most common (71.42%), followed by stage cT4 in 28.58%. Twelve patients underwent surgical treatment. Total penectomy was performed in 5 patients, partial penectomy in 6 patients and emasculation in one patient. Node dissection was performed in 3 patients. The one-year survival rate was 83.33%.Conclusions: Penile cancer is rare and consultations are made at advanced stages. Awareness of the population on risk factors remains essential for early diagnosis and prevention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4081\/aiua.2026.14590","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,3]],"date-time":"2026-02-03T13:04:17Z","timestamp":1770123857000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Penile cancer in Burkina Faso: epidemiology and difficulties of management about 21 cases"],"prefix":"10.4081","volume":"98","author":[{"given":"Abdoul-Karim","family":"Par\u00e9","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Souro Sanou University Teaching Hospital, Bobo-Dioulasso"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Delphine","family":"Y\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Souro Sanou University Teaching Hospital, Bobo-Dioulasso"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alain","family":"Sanou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Souro Sanou University Teaching Hospital, Bobo-Dioulasso"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Clotaire Alexis Marie Kiemdiba Donega","family":"Yam\u00e9ogo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Yalgado Ouedraogo University Teaching Hospital, Ouagadougou"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4942-7278","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Brahima","family":"Kirakoya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Yalgado Ouedraogo University Teaching Hospital, Ouagadougou"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohamed","family":"Simpor\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Souro Sanou University Teaching Hospital, Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amidou","family":"Bako","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Souro Sanou University Teaching Hospital, Bobo-Dioulasso"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-1292-4892","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hassami","family":"Sawadogo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Dedougou Regional Hospital, Dedougou"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8910-0806","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adama","family":"Ouattara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Souro Sanou University Teaching Hospital, Bobo-Dioulasso"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4967-6274","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aristide Fasnewinde","family":"Kabor\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Yalgado Ouedraogo University Teaching Hospital, Ouagadougou"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2549","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"212839","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"1.
