Rashmi Sarkar1, Charandeep Kaur, Gurvinder P Thami, Amrinder J Kanwar.   

Abstract

Genital elephantiasis (esthiomene), which is the dramatic end-result of lymphatic obstruction, is rather rare. Although mainly associated with filariasis and sexually transmitted diseases, such as lymphogranuloma venereum and donovanosis, it could also be an uncommon complication of tubercular lymphadenitis, a common infection in tropical countries. We report a rare case of a 32-year-old Indian female in whom genital elephantiasis occurred as a complication of tubercular lymphadenitis.
