Overview
The management of lymph node metastases (LNM) in penile squamous cell carcinoma presents a challenge from both a medical management and surgical perspective. However, the appropriate management of inguinal and pelvic lymph nodes serves not only as a prognostic indicator, but possible surgical cure for many patients [1]. In this review, we discuss the management of inguinal and pelvic lymph nodes and considerations in performing an ilioinguinal lymph node dissection (ILND).
