ARMENGOL-DE-LA-HOZ, JM; MARTINEZ-MURILLO, A e ESPEJO-ORTEGA, LF. The treatment of Elephantiasis nostras verrucosa with TCA. Sanid. Mil. [online]. 2021, vol.77, n.1, pp.26-28. Epub 07-Jun-2021. ISSN 1887-8571. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s1887-85712021000100004.
Elephantiasis nostras verrucosa is a rare dermatological condition characterized by edema, foul-smelling hyperkeratosis with generalized lichenification, cobblestone papules, and warty changes. The pathology is produced by congenital or secondary chronic obstructive lymphedema. There is no clear consensus for the treatment of this pathology. In this article we present a clinical case of a 73 years old woman who was treated with 25% trichloracetic acid with satisfactory results.
