A 100-year-old man visited our hospital with a complaint of penile tumor formation with bleeding and pain. The tumor was 5cm in long diameter with an irregular surface, and extended from the glans via the coronal sulcus to the dorsal surface of the preputium. The clinical diagnosis was stage I penile cancer, and partial penectomy was performed. The pathological diagnosis was well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (pT1bcN0M0). To our knowledge, including foreign references, this is the oldest penile cancer patient in the literature. On discussing the operative course in very elderly patients, appropriate preoperative examination for circulatory and respiratory risks and evaluation of cognitive ability are considered essential. Although it is not difficult to conclude that only this operative procedure reveals enough radicality, we believe that it was the appropriate selection for relief of the patient's pain with full consideration of the invasiveness and risks.
