Abstract:
Isolated elephantiasis of the vulva refers to a gigantic swelling of the vulva without concomitant swelling of the lower limbs. It is a rarely reported entity and its occurrence during pregnancy has been reported only once. We report a case of an isolated vulval elephantiasis during pregnancy and we discuss the possible etiologies and management issues. Our patient had a successful vaginal delivery followed by a satisfactory genital reconstruction at eight months postpartum and no recurrence thereafter.
