1Urology Department. Hospital Universitario Virgen del Rocío.Sevilla. Spain.
Objective:
To describe ischemic priapism as an atypical presentation of chronic myeloid leukaemia.
Methods / Results:
We discuss two patients diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia presenting an episode of priapism, adequately resolved after applying the treatment protocol established in our center.
Conclusion:
Priapism is defined as a persistent erection that persists despite not having sexual stimulus, without involvement of the spongy tissue of the penis. Its debut appearance as a hematologic dyscrasia is a rare event. It is a urological emergency, requiring early multidisciplinary (Urology and Hematology) management, since the speed in treatment will result in good functional results and the preservation of a good quality of life.
