Abstract
Priapism is defined as prolonged, painful erection that does not have to be triggered by sexual stimulation. It is characterized by not being modified after ejaculation. This is a rare entity in early and/or adolescent ages.In low flow or ischemic veno-occlusive priapism, differential diagnosis should be made regarding hematologic causes, neoplasms, infectious conditions, drug intake, etc. In high flow or arterial or nonischemic priapism, greater focus should be given to the traumatic origin.Treatment of low flow priapism is an emergency since we must avoid irreversible damage as well as psychological harm that would be derived from the consequences of a possible erectile dysfunction.We report a case of low flow priapism in a teenage patient that was a debut of acute myeloid leukemia. In pediatric and adolescent aged patients, as we have stated, this is uncommon. However, we must be alert to this since it may be the debut of serious diseases.
