Abstract
Objective:
To describe a case of priapism following testosterone administration.
Methods/Results:
A 14-year-old boy treated with testosterone for delayed puberty presented with priapism after the administration of a single depot dose of 100 mg testosterone. Punction-aspiration of the corpora cavernosa was required to resolve the priapism.
Conclusion:
Administration of testosterone for delayed male puberty is safe but may occasionally cause priapism.
