We reported a case of a 49-year-old man who had chronic lymphoedema of bilateral lower limbs for 30 years, but he did not seek treatment. His disease was complicated with irreversible changes of elephantiasis nostras verrucosa and had recurrent admissions due to infection. He was not keen for surgical intervention. This case report illustrated a rare and non-reversible complication of a common skin disease, lymphoedema and also the importance of identifying and treating it early.
我们报告了一例49岁男性，其双下肢慢性淋巴水肿已持续30年，但他未寻求治疗。他的病情并发了疣状非热带性象皮病的不可逆变化，并因感染多次入院。他不热衷于手术干预。本病例报告说明了一种常见皮肤病——淋巴水肿的罕见且不可逆的并发症，以及早期识别和治疗它的重要性。
