title: [Priapism with malignant lymphoma: a case report].
abstract: A case with priapism in a 66-year-old male due to malignant lymphoma is reported. Physical examination revealed an erected penis and enlarged lymph nodes in left neck and bilateral inguinal areas. Rectal digital examination of prostate revealed an irregular surface and swollen hard left lobe. Open biopsy of the bladder and vesicostomy were carried out. Several nodular lesions in the trigone and in the left wall were excised. Pathologically the diagnosis was malignant lymphoma, diffuse, large cell type and clinical stage was stage IV. CHOP therapy with bleomycin and methotrexate was performed. Priapism disappeared 7 days after the initiation of the chemotherapy, but impotence has been noticed after the chemotherapy for more than one year. This will be the first case with priapism due to malignant lymphoma reported in Japan so far.
