They normally manifest as penile lesion and acute urinary retention. However, presentation of priapism is exceedingly rare. <strong>Aims:</strong> Discussion of this rare presentation as well as the diagnostic processes and subsequent management. <strong>Case Presentation:</strong> A 54-year-old male with a history of colorectal cancer presents with acute urinary retention. Examination of the patient demonstrates a semi-erect penis, with multiple palpable nodules on the shaft and penile meatus. Histological and imaging findings indicate penile metastasis of colorectal cancer. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Biopsy via cystoscopy is used to obtain definitive diagnosis of penile metastasis. Urinary drainage followed by further cancer intervention or palliative care is crucial for effective management.展开更多
