The WHO classification for penile SCC (2022) strongly recommends and advocates penile SCC to be reported as HPV-associated or HPV-independent type in pathology reports. Further, p16 immunohistochemistry (IHC) is recommended to classify SCC into the above major types, although it is not completely reliable for HPV infection. Although there are no established differences in the prognosis or treatment between HPV-associated and HPV-independent penile tumours, there is recent evidence to suggest that HPV-associated SCC may respond better to radiation therapy, immunotherapy, etc. AIM AND OBJECTIVES: This study aims to = analyse the clinicopathological features of penile squamous cell carcinoma and reclassify penile SCC into HPV-associated and HPV-independent types to align with the WHO classification of penile carcinoma (2022) and study the expression of p16 by immunohistochemistry. Additionally, we studied the prognostic significance of HPV-associated and independent SCC based on histology and p16 immunostaining.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>This is a five-year retrospective single-institution study that included all diagnosed cases of penile SCC.

Most of the tumors showed favorable features- histological grade I, pathological T1 stage with a low incidence of nodal metastasis. There was a strong association between histological subtyping into HPV-associated and independent SCC with p16 IHC expression (p = 0.015).
