[Priapism as the first manifestation of chronic granulocytic leukemia]

We report a case of priapism in a patient with philadelphia positive chronic granulocytic leukemia. Combined medical and surgical therapy, including chemotherapy with hydroxyurea and multiple punctures of the corpora cavernosa respectively, effected a rapid detumescence and resolution of the priapism and control of the primary disease, although subsequent ability of erection was not fully restored.
