Abstract:
Penoscrotal elephantiasis is a symptom that can be caused by local but also by systemic disorders. When the changes are reversible, conservative measures such as physical and antiphlogistic approaches lead to success. In cases of irreversible penoscrotal elephantiasis, excision and amputation of the affected penoscrotal areas are recommended to eliminate the functional disturbances. In all manifestations it is important to prevent and treat those diseases known to cause elephantiasis.
