Background. Metastatic penile tumor from lung cancer is rare. Case. A 57-year-old man experienced priapism and penile pain, but he initially ignored these symptoms and did not consult a doctor. After that, he was admitted to our hospital for assessment of left leg pain, and biopsy of his left tibia revealed squamous cell carcinoma. He was given a diagnosis of stage IV squamous cell carcinoma of the right lung. Needle biopsy of the corpus cavernosum revealed squamous cell carcinoma, compatible with metastasis from lung cancer. We gave him chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel, and his priapism and penile pain improved. Conclusion. In this case, the symptoms of metastatic penile tumor from lung cancer improved with chemotherapy.
