Abstract:
Genital lymphedema is a well-documented, albeit uncommon, complication that may arise following prostatectomy for prostate cancer. This condition can lead to significant functional impairment and adversely affect multiple aspects of health, including daily activities, quality of life, and psychological well-being. In the present report, we describe a rare case of isolated penile lymphedema in a 59-year-old male patient following prostate surgery. This case underscores the critical role of multidisciplinary collaboration in the management of complex lymphedema presentations and highlights the therapeutic value of integrating conservative and surgical interventions. Such a combined approach can achieve not only effective reduction of lymphedema but also substantial improvements in the patient's psychological status and overall quality of life.
