Abstract
We report an unusual non-Hodgkin lymphoma metastasis of the penis. Review of the literature revealed less than 200 cases of metastatic lesions to the penis, excluding primary neoplasms from skin, urethra and blood. The most common neoplastic metastases to the penis in order of frequency were from the bladder, prostate, rectum and rectosigmoid areas, and kidney in the cases, respectively. The incidence of other primary tumor sites that metastasize to the penis is extremely rare.
