Description
Summary:Priapism is defined as a whole or partial penile erection that persists for more than 4 hours without stimulation. Hematologic disorders are a significant risk factor for ischemic priapism. Here, we report a case of priapism due to chronic myelocytic leukemia. This is rare considering that the epidemiology of priapism in hematologic malignancies includes only 1% of patients with chronic myelocytic leukemia. Priapism has a relatively high complication rate, and management generally focuses on prompt treatment. Hematologic screening should be performed to rule out the possibility of these disorders that could underlie priapism. •Priapism is defined as a penile erection persisting for more than 4 hours without stimulation.•Here, we report a case of priapism due to chronic myelocytic leukemia.•Priapism is a urological emergency, which must be treated as early as possible.•Hematologic screening should be performed to rule out the possibility of undiagnosed hematologic disorders.
