title: Cavernosal hematoma mimicking priapism.
abstract: We present a case of corpus cavernosum hematoma mimicking priapism. A 42-year-old man presented to the emergency room with penile pain and partial erection. Examination revealed partial erection and palpable space-occupying lesion of the corpus cavernosum without lymphadenopathy. Malignant workup was negative. Imaging assisted in diagnosis of unilateral hematoma of the corpus cavernosum. The lesion spontaneously resolved without the need for intervention.
