Abstract
Penoscrotal elephantiasis is a rare pathology outside filarial endemic areas. We report a case of primary penoscrotal elephantiasis in a 65-year-old patient, who was treated by complete surgical resection of the pathological tissue and penoscrotal reconstruction, with a good functional and aesthetic result. Complementary examinations and therapeutic options were analyzed through a review of the literature.
