Cancer of the penis is rare in Senegal. This rarity could be related to the preventive action of ritual circumcision that is widely practiced during childhood. We report 3 cases of penile cancer tumor. The average age of our patients was 42.5 years with as extreme 22 years and 67 years. The average time for consultation was 6 months. All patients were circumcised during childhood. Squamous cell carcinoma was found in 2 cases. The review of the literature shows the rarity of this tumor and the role of promoting factors: the absence of circumcision and papillomavirus infection
