In this paper the authors report on four of their own patients suffering from malignant melanoma of the penis, and the recent literature is reviewed. Growth of pigmented lesions and bleeding are the most important clinical symptoms. Malignant melanomas of the penis are often acrolentiginous melanomas; they occur predominantly in older patients and progress more rapidly than malignant melanomas of the common integument.
