Etiological aspects and interest of early surgical management of priapism.

12 patients have been treated for priapism between March 1973 and September 1977. Etiologic conditions have been found 9 times, leaving only 3 idiopathic priapisms. Treatment of choice consisted of 8 saphenocavernous shunts, achieving detumescence in 7 cases and preserving sexual potency in 5. The precocity of operation seems of no interest to priapism itself but is mandatory to prevent secondary impotence.

Cutaneous response to dinitrochlorobenzene in patients with genito-urinary cancers.

The aim of the present study is to analyse the response in patients with cancer of the urogenital region to a primary antigen 2-4 dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). A total of 69 patients with neoplastic disease were studied (13 cases with kidney cancer, 34 cases with bladder cancer, 13 cases with prostatic cancer, 5 cases with testicular cancer, one case with penis cancer, and 3 cases with cancer of the cervix, comparatively with 13 patients with non-malignant urological diseases. Whereas in the control group, 78% of the patients gave a positive skin reaction to DNCB, 15% of the patients with kidney cancer, 56% of the patients with bladder cancer, 69% of the patients with prostatic cancer and 60% of the patients with testicular cancer gave a positive reaction. If we consider the stages of the disease, the reaction was positive, in 91% of bladder cancer at stage I and in 47% at stages II and III in 100% of prostatic cancer at stage I and in 62% at stages II and III, in 60% of testicular cancer at stage IV (but 100% of seminomas and 0% of dysembryomas have a positive reaction). It would therefore seem that a correlation exists between the degree of the extension of the disease and the skin reaction to DNCB.
