title: [Priapism secondary to testosterone administration in the treatment of delayed puberty].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe a case of priapism following testosterone administration.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A 14-year-old boy treated with testosterone for delayed puberty presented with priapism after the administration of a single depot dose of 100 mg testosterone. Punction-aspiration of the corpora cavernosa was required to resolve the priapism.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Administration of testosterone for delayed male puberty is safe but may occasionally cause priapism.
