description BACKGROUND: We describe three cases of advanced penile cancer associated with HIV infection. CASE PRESENTATION: Advanced penile cancer associated with VIH infection were discovered in three patients aged respectively 47, 56 and 40. The prognosis was extremely poor. Two patients died without receiving any treatment and one patient was lost to follow-up after refusing all treatment proposed. CONCLUSION: There appears to be a link between HIV infection and penile cancer with concomitant HIV infection worsening the prognosis of the disease.
