AbstractWe report a very rare case of a 63-year-old man with penile carcinoma who developed brain metastasis. Brain metastasis from penile carcinoma is very rare, and only six cases have been reported so far as per our literature review. In view of controlled primary tumor and absence of systemic disease, tumor was excised and the patient remained clinically controlled till 3 months after follow-up.

Penile cysts are uncommon lesions. In general, they are asymptomaticand do not interfere with sexual function. Most of themare present since birth, but usually they are only detectable inadolescence or adulthood. We report a rare case of a young adultman with a 5 × 5-cm nodule on the prepuce (ventral face), whichappeared 2 years ago and interfered with his sexual function. Thenodule was excised by circumcision and a histopathologic studywas performed. Histopathologic examination revealed a mucoidcyst of penis with epidermoid metaplasia. No recurrence wasobserved at a 6 months follow-up and the patient’s sexual functionreturned to normal.

Abstract Background Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a complication that occurs after radiotherapy for head or neck malignancies. ORN of the spine is rare, with only few cases affecting the cervical spine reported to date. To our knowledge, no case of lumbar ORN has been reported. We report a rare case of ORN in the lumbar spine that occurred 2 years after radiotherapy and perform a literature review. Case presentation We present a case of lumbar ORN that occurred 2 years after radiotherapy for gallbladder carcinoma. The patient was successfully treated conservatively and followed up for > 10 years. Conclusions ORN of the spine is a rare complication of radiotherapy. Spinal ORN is clinically described as a chronic disease with a slow onset. The most common presenting symptom of spinal ORN is pain. However, as ORN progresses, spinal kyphosis and instability can lead to neurological compression and thus to induced myelopathy or radiculopathy. Treatment of spinal ORN is comprehensive, including orthosis, medication, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, surgery, and new treatment combinations of pentoxifylline and tocopherol. The surgical rate for spinal ORN is relatively high.
