Abstract
TIENZA, A. et al. Malignant priapism: conservative management of a case. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2013, vol.36, n.1, pp.149-152. ISSN 1137-6627. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1137-66272013000100021.
Priapism is an urological emergency which requires investigation, especially to differentiate between ischemic and non-ischemic priapism. Initial management is carried out through aspiration and gasometry of blood from the corpus cavernosum. We report the case of a 69-year-old patient with urothelium carcinoma of the bladder T2 G3 and metastasis in urethra/corpus cavernosum who requested an emergency consultation because of edema and a penile erection lasting several days. Due to the poor prognosis and the imaging test, a conservative management was carried out.
