Abstract: The condition known as scrotal elephantiasis is a debilitating rarity where the scrotum undergoes significant swelling, typically arising from chronic obstructive lymphedema. A case is presented of a 60-year-old man who had suffered severe and persistent enlargement of his scrotum for multiple years. This affliction greatly affected both his ability to function effectively and caused detrimental psychosocial consequences. After a clinical evaluation, the patient was diagnosed with scrotal elephantiasis. A comprehensive strategy was adopted, utilizing scrotal volume reduction surgery to yield a significant enhancement in the quality of life following the operation.<br />Competing Interests: There is no conflict of interest between the authors of this work.<br /> (© 2024 The Authors.)
