Lymphedema is defined as an abnormal accumulation of extracellular fluid in the subcutaneous compartment caused by impaired lymphatic drainage. Scrotal lymphedema is a rare condition characterised by swelling of the scrotal skin due to deterioration in lymphatic drainage. Over time, fibrosis may develop in the scrotum and genital malformations that impair the patient's quality of life. Here, we present the first case in our experience of scrotal lymphedema, which occurred in a 3-year child following circumcision, and subsequently was treated successfully with complex decongestive physiotherapy.
淋巴水肿被定义为由于淋巴引流受损导致皮下组织细胞外液异常积聚。阴囊淋巴水肿是一种罕见病症,其特征是由于淋巴引流恶化导致阴囊皮肤肿胀。随着时间推移,阴囊可能会出现纤维化以及生殖器畸形,从而影响患者的生活质量。在此,我们介绍我们所遇到的首例阴囊淋巴水肿病例,该病例发生在一名3岁儿童包皮环切术后,随后通过综合消肿物理治疗成功治愈。
