    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Priapism can be caused by solid tumors invading penile tissues, not just blood cancers. Chemotherapy offered the best palliation for these rare cases of priapism.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Priapism is often linked to hematologic malignancies.
    • Local corporeal involvement by solid tumors is a less common cause of priapism.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review cases of priapism caused by direct invasion of penile tissues by solid tumors.
    • To analyze the presentation, treatment, and outcomes for patients with solid tumor-induced priapism.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review identifying 75 case reports.
    • Retrospective review of 6 new cases involving transitional cell carcinoma, prostatic adenocarcinoma, rectal carcinoma, and sarcoma.
    • Analysis of treatment modalities including corporeal curettage, surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Six cases of priapism due to local invasion by solid tumors were identified.
  • Patients presented with priapism as a primary complaint or as a sign of recurrence.
  • No single treatment was fully effective, but chemotherapy provided the best palliation.

    • Conclusions:

    • Solid tumors can cause priapism through local invasion.
    • Treatment options for priapism secondary to solid tumors are limited.
    • Chemotherapy may offer the most effective palliative approach for these patients.
