Abstract
Malignant priapism is a rare disease with only 88 reported cases. We p resent a case of a patient with priapism secondary to isolated metasta sis to corpora cavernosa from bladder tumor. Metastasis to penis usual ly represents evidence of a more widespread disease in 80% to 90% of t he patients. Rarely, as in this case, the metastasis is solitary. (C) 1998, Elsevier Science Inc.
