ABSTRACT
Introduction. Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder that predominantly affects the granulocytic series and represents a diagnostic challenge due to the different forms of initial clinical manifestations.Clinical case. We report a case of an 18-year-old male patient with priapism, dysuria, penile pain that does not involve scrotum and testicles, as well as splenomegaly data. After the suspected diagnosis by biometrics blood test screening, the diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukemia with bone marrow aspiration was confirmed.
Conclusions. There are clinical manifestations characteristic of CML, but undoubtedly, due to its pathogenesis, atypical manifestations of the disease, such as priapism, are sometimes overlooked. For this reason, it is important to perform a detailed semiology and complete physical examination.
