Abstract

Lymphedema is the result of altered lymphatic drainage. Primary lymphedema is a rare condition with a reported incidence of only 0.6%. Most cases in children are caused by congenital factors. We report a 4-year-old child with primary penile scrotal lymphedema combined with bilateral hydrocele, and satisfactory therapeutic and aesthetic results were obtained through surgical resection and genital reconstruction.
