Scrotal elephantiasis, a rare condition outside filaria zones, involves severe swelling of the scrotum. Surgical resection and penoscrotal repair offer effective treatment, yielding positive functional and cosmetic outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Scrotal elephantiasis, also known as scrotal lymphoedema, is a severe manifestation of lymphatic filariasis.
  • While endemic in filariasis-prevalent regions, its occurrence outside these zones is exceptionally rare, often presenting as idiopathic, congenital, or secondary cases.

Observation:

  • The study presents two rare cases of scrotal elephantiasis in patients not residing in filaria endemic zones.
  • These cases highlight the potential for scrotal lymphoedema to occur sporadically and present diagnostic challenges.

Findings:

  • Both patients underwent surgical intervention involving wide resection of the affected scrotal wall.
  • Penoscrotal reconstruction was performed, resulting in significant improvement in both functional and cosmetic aspects.

Implications:

  • Surgical management, including resection and reconstruction, can be a viable option for treating scrotal elephantiasis even in non-endemic settings.
  • These findings underscore the importance of considering scrotal lymphoedema in the differential diagnosis of scrotal swelling, regardless of geographical location.
