Ischaemic priapism as a presentation of chronic myeloid leukaemia

To describe ischemic priapism as an atypical presentation of chronic myeloid leukaemia. We discuss two patients diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia presenting an episode of priapism, adequately resolved after applying the treatment protocol established in our center. Priapism is defined as a persistent erection that persists despite not having sexual stimulus, without involvement of the spongy tissue of the penis. Its debut appearance as a hematologic dyscrasia is a rare event. It is a urological emergency, requiring early multidisciplinary (Urology and Hematology) management, since the speed in treatment will result in good functional results and the preservation of a good quality of life.
