Abstract

Priapism is the pathologic prolongation of a penile erection most often associated with pain but not with sexual excitement or desire. Recently we experienced one case of priapism accompained by chromic myelocytic leukemia.

For treatment of priapism, cavernososponsiosal shunt, radiotherapy and chemotherapy with hydroxyurea were done.
