Penile metastasis is extremely rare. The most common neoplasms that spread to the external male genital area are bladder and prostate cancer. The diagnosis usually begins with the appearance of penile symptoms. Further examination usually reveals metastasis to other organs, which worsens the patient prognosis.

We present a case report of an 80-year-old patient who was accidently diagnosed with metastatic high-grade urothelial cancer during a male circumcision. Further diagnostic process revealed a disseminated neoplastic disease.

Whole-body computed tomography (CT) scan often reveals disseminated neoplastic disease, which is the cause of high mortality in secondary penile neoplasms.
