Abstract
Squamous cell carcinoma of the penis is a rare malignant neoplasm presenting as a hard painless lump, usually on the glans or prepuce but also, rarely, on the shaft. Peyronie’s disease is a relatively common (prevalence about 3%) benign condition that presents as a penile plaque or flat lump with or without penile curvature or deformity. We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the penile shaft masquerading as, or being masked by, Peyronie’s disease.
