Tropical facial elephantiasis is a nosological entity which can arise from various underlying causes: von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis, lymphatic and cutaneodermal filarioses, deep mycosis.
We report an exceptional case of tropical facial elephantiasis caused by onchocercosis and entomophtoromycosis (rhinophycomycosis). The patient's facial morphology was noted "hippopotamus-face" or "dog-face".
Onchocercosis and entomophtoromycosis are two diseases known to cause facial elephantiasis. We have not however been able to find any case report in the literature of co-morbidity nor any information on factors predictive of concomitant occurrence.
热带面部象皮病是一种可由多种潜在病因引起的疾病实体：冯雷克林霍增氏神经纤维瘤病、淋巴和皮肤丝虫病、深部真菌病。
我们报告一例由盘尾丝虫病和虫霉病（鼻虫霉病）引起的热带面部象皮病罕见病例。患者的面部形态被描述为“河马脸”或“狗脸”。
盘尾丝虫病和虫霉病是已知可导致面部象皮病的两种疾病。然而，我们未能在文献中找到任何关于合并症的病例报告，也未找到任何关于预测同时发生的因素的信息。
