We report the first documented Japanese case in the English literature of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in which priapism was the presenting symptom. Priapism, a rare manifestation in CML patients, is particularly uncommon in Japan. This can be attributed to the high quality of medical services and proactive health strategies implemented by the Japanese government. These strategies include recommending regular blood tests for company employees aged 35 and above, thereby facilitating early detection of CML. Hence, it is crucial to consider CML when examining any patient presenting with priapism, particularly among those who have not undergone regular medical check-ups.
我们报告了英文文献中首例有记录的以阴茎异常勃起为首发症状的日本慢性髓性白血病（CML）病例。阴茎异常勃起在CML患者中是一种罕见表现，在日本尤为不常见。这可归因于日本政府实施的高质量医疗服务和积极的健康策略。这些策略包括建议35岁及以上公司员工定期进行血液检查，从而有助于早期发现CML。因此，在检查任何出现阴茎异常勃起的患者时，尤其是那些未进行定期体检的患者，考虑CML至关重要。
