This case study details nonfilarial elephantiasis nostras verrucosa in a young patient, presenting an unusual buttock location. Surgical excision and pressure therapy led to successful treatment with no recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Elephantiasis nostras verrucosa (ENV) is a rare, chronic condition characterized by lymphatic obstruction and skin changes.
  • While typically affecting extremities, ENV can manifest in unusual locations.

Observation:

  • A 14-year-old girl presented with a rare case of nonfilarial elephantiasis nostras verrucosa.
  • The condition was uniquely localized to the buttock, deviating from common presentations.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision and primary closure were performed for the localized buttock lesion.
  • The patient has shown positive outcomes, with no recurrence observed one year post-surgery.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the diverse clinical presentations of elephantiasis nostras verrucosa.
