Blood disorders, in particular chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), are among the rare etiological factors of priapism. A clinical observation of ischemic priapism lasting 18 hours, which developed in patients with previously not diagnosed CML, is presented in the article. The CML was subsequently diagnosed based on the results of blood analyses and bone marrow aspiration. Treatment strategy consisted of immediate aspiration of blood from the cavernous bodies (19G) followed by the intracavernous injection of phenylephrine solution. After resolving priapism, CML therapy was carried out, which allowed to avoid a recurrence of priapism.

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune...
