title: Hematoma or "partial priapism" in the proximal part of the corpus cavernosum.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  "Partial priapism" is a rare disorder. Therapy is controversial in literature.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To show that conservative treatment leads to a full functional recovery of this condition.
  
  
  METHODS
  This report describes a case of a hematoma or "partial priapism" in the proximal part of the right corpus cavernosum.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Complete functional recovery after conservative treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  "Partial priapism" probably represents a hematoma in the interstitium of the proximal part of the corpus cavernosum. Conservative treatment is advised.
