ABSTRACT

Two patients with penile cancer were evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine tumor extent. Corporeal involvement was revealed in only 1 of the 2 cases, which was delineated on MRI and confirmed histologically. We conclude that MRI, especially the T1-weighted image, is helpful in determining treatment in cases of penile cancer.
