    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Priapism is defined as a persistent, painful erection unrelated to sexual stimulation.
    • Malignant priapism specifically refers to priapism resulting from cancer metastasis.

    Observation:

    • A novel case of malignant priapism secondary to prostatic carcinoma metastasis is presented.
    • The patient experienced a persistent and painful erection due to advanced cancer.

    Findings:

    • The patient's survival following the diagnosis of malignant priapism was poor.
    • The patient died within 3 months of diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • Malignant priapism indicates advanced metastatic disease with a grave prognosis.
    • This condition underscores the aggressive nature of certain metastatic cancers, such as prostatic carcinoma.
