Abstract
A 58-year-old man presented with painless swelling and induration of the glans and prepuce, initially suspected of having penile cancer. Clinical examination revealed bilateral inguinal lymphadenopathy. CT showed generalised lymph node enlargement, and biopsy confirmed small-cell lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). Treatment with rituximab led to near-complete remission. This case report highlights penile lymphedema as a rare initial presentation of systemic lymphoma.
