Abstract

Partial segmental thrombosis of the corpus cavernosum (PSTCC) is a rare condition predominantly occurring in young men. We report a case of a 44-year-old man presenting with a spontaneous painful mass in the right proximal cavernous corpus (CC) one day following a prolonged run. An ultrasonography and MRI identified a thrombus in the CC. Anticoagulants and analgesics were prescribed, a non-surgical approach was chosen. Symptoms disappeared in a week as apparent by a reduction of thrombus on the MRI. Three years later, a residual thrombus with fibrosis was detected. Patient continues to be asymptomatic at the time of follow-up.
