JPRAS Open. 2020 Oct 27:26:80-85. doi: 10.1016/j.jpra.2020.10.003. eCollection 2020 Dec.

Abstract

Introduction: Scrotal lymphedema is a rare condition, with significant psychological and functional disability. To date, association with giant congenital melanocytic nevus has not been reported.

Case report: We report a case of a 15-year-old male with a giant congenital nevus associated with giant scrotal lymphedema. Surgical debulking with penoscrotoplasty achieved satisfactory functional and esthetic results.

Conclusions: Early diagnosis and surgical intervention should be advocated for congenital causes of large scrotal swelling.

Keywords: Lymphedema; Reconstruction; Scrotal; Scrotoplasty.
