Abstract

Scrotal elephantiasis (scrotal lymphoedema) is essentially observed in filaria endemic zones. It is very rare outside of these zones and is usually idiopathic, and rarely congenital or secondary. The authors report two cases of scrotal elephantiasis treated by wide resection of the pathological scrotal wall and penoscrotal repair with a good functional and cosmetic result.
