Abstract
Metastases to the penis from renal cell carcinoma producing priapism are very rare, as only 18 cases have been described since 1964. We present an additional case of priapism due to massive metastatic involvement of the corpora cavernosa in a patient with huge renal cell carcinoma, 28 cm in diameter, discussing the possible pathogenetic mechanism of such a rare condition.
