ABSTRACT = {A 75 year-old uncircumcised man presented with a 1.1
mm thick malignant melanoma on the ventral aspect of
the glans penis. He underwent isosulfan blue and
technetium 99m guided sentinel lymph node (SLN)
biopsy and distal penectomy with 2 cm margins. This is the third reported case of penile melanoma using both
markers for SLN mapping. While frozen sections and H
& E stains were negative, S-100 and HMB-45
immunohistochemistry revealed micrometastasis in one
of the sentinel nodes. This case illustrates that any
discussion with the patient about management and
prognosis should await immunohistochemistry results.},
