Abstract
Presentation of an exceptional case of priapism in an 82-year-old male, secondary to primary bilateral abscess corpus cavernosum. Diagnosis was reached through aspiration puncture and pus drainage, which also allowed the resolution of the condition. After a literature review, no similar case was found. This was a painful, long-lasting erection that resulted from corpus cavernosum repletion with purulent material instead of blood.
