ABSTRACT
Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia [CML] counts for around 15% of haematological malignancies. We are reporting two cases in which initial presentation of the disease was with priapism. After initial investigative profile, the priapism was relieved by aspiration and decompression. Later investigations revealed hyperleukocytosis due to CML in both the cases. These cases demonstrate the importance of identifying the underlying cause of priapism, as it directly influences both initial and ongoing management
