Thrombosis of the corpus cavernosum is a rare disease of unknown cause that usually affects young men. We present the case of a 25-year-old man with an unilateral, painful perineal mass and ultrasound scan compatible with this entity. The magnetic resonance and tomography computarised scan images corroborate the diagnosis. Anticoagulants were prescribed which solved the clinical picture.
