OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of priapism following testosterone administration. METHODS/ RESULTS: A 14-year-old boy treated with testosterone for delayed puberty presented with priapism after the administration of a single depot dose of 100 mg testosterone. Punction-aspiration of the corpora cavernosa was required to resolve the priapism. CONCLUSION: Administration of testosterone for delayed male puberty is safe but may occasionally cause priapism.
