Priapism and multiple myeloma. Successful treatment with plasmapheresis.
Priapism was associated with multiple myeloma and hyperviscosity in a sixty-year-old black male. Plasmapheresis treatment of the hyperviscosity corrected his priapism, and chemotherapy for the underlying multiple myeloma prevented the recurrence of priapism after a chronic intermittent history of seventeen years.
