Abstract
The authors report seven cases of scrotal elephantiasis operated on nine years in the urology department of a filarial endemic zone. Patients wait for a long time before consulting for big scrotum reaching eventually 15 kg. The final arguments for the filarial origin haven't been found whereas arguments of presumption exist The surgical treatment has enabled to get an aesthetic satisfying result, sometimes after a second cure.Entities:
