Cavernosography in diagnosis of metastatic tumors of the penis: 5 new cases and a review of the literature.

Secondary tumors of the penis are rare, with 266 cases having been reported. We describe 5 new cases studied by cavernosography. The primary tumors were bladder cancer in 3 patients and prostatic cancer in 2. Cavernosography suggested the diagnosis, which was confirmed by a guided biopsy or fine needle aspiration biopsy. The prognosis has been poor, with the average survival being less than 9 months.

Transabdominal sonography of seminal vesicles.

We evaluated 119 male patients for infertility and/or prostatitis. Transabdominal sonography of the seminal vesicles was performed and transverse sections were used to measure the height and breadth. A correlation was established with the characteristics of the semen, the volume of semen being related directly to the size of the vesicles. Male patients with semen abnormalities had seminal vesicles of greater diameters than those with normal semen. When patients with prostatitis are eliminated from this group the difference is insignificant.
