PRIMARY LYMPHEDEMA PRECOX OF THE PENIS AND ITS SURGICAL-TREATMENT - ACASE-REPORT

Primary penile lymphedema occurs infrequently and is seen in conjuncti on with a similar process in the scrotum. The accepted form of treatme nt is surgery since conservative medical treatment is of little value. Different surgical techniques have been described, but no single proc edure has emerged as the ideal treatment. Radical excision of all lymp hedematous tissues and reconstruction using local penile flaps yield e xcellent functional and cosmetic results. We treated a 13-year-old boy with primary penile lymphedema precox using radical excision and reco nstruction with local penile flaps. At follow-up two years later, func tional and cosmetic results were satisfactory.
