Resumen
CARRASCO LOPEZ, C. et al. Giant scrotal lymphedema. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2013, vol.39, n.2, pp.187-191. ISSN 1989-2055. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0376-78922013000200012.
Scrotal lymphedema (scrotal elephantiasis) is a condition that has historically been described in areas endemic to filariasis. We present a case of giant scrotal elephantiasis. The patient was treated with scrotal reconstruction with local flap and skin graft. We present a rare case report, because of its low frequency or its ethnology so as the big magnitude of the problem. That´s why we decided to present this case in order to show therapeutical possibilities and to do a bibliographic review about the theme.
