Massive localized lymphoedema (MLL) is a rare complication of morbid obesity and has been scarcely reported in the literature, especially in the pubic area and genitalia. It is associated to BMI more than 40 kg/m. We report the case of a 37-year-old patient known for morbid obesity with 68.8 kg/m BMI and hypogonadism-obesity syndrome presenting an unusually voluminous scrotal MLL mass. Malignancy was ruled out before surgery. In total a 7.5 kg scrotal mass was resected. Surgery was performed with minor complications without requiring additional surgery.
巨大局限性淋巴水肿(MLL)是病态肥胖的一种罕见并发症,在文献中鲜有报道,尤其是在耻骨区和生殖器部位。它与体重指数超过40kg/m²相关。我们报告一例37岁病态肥胖患者,体重指数为68.8kg/m²,患有性腺功能减退-肥胖综合征,其阴囊出现异常巨大的MLL肿块。术前排除了恶性肿瘤。总共切除了一个7.5kg的阴囊肿块。手术过程中出现了轻微并发症,无需再次手术。
