Abstract

This case report presents a rare and complex clinical scenario of a 42-year-old male diagnosed with elephantiasis nostras verrucosa in the context of lymphedema tarda. The patient's seven-year history of insidious and progressively worsening swelling over the left lower limb, inguino-scrotal region, and left upper limb posed diagnostic challenges, leading to a multidisciplinary evaluation. Clinical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory investigations were integral in confirming the diagnosis. The manifestation of elephantiasis nostras verrucosa, characterized by extensive hyperkeratosis, added a unique dimension to the clinical presentation. A comprehensive treatment approach involving nutritional supplementation and pharmacological interventions was initiated to address the multifaceted aspects of lymphatic dysfunction. This case underscores the importance of a collaborative and holistic approach to managing complex lymphatic disorders, contributing valuable insights to the medical literature.
