Résumé

Bien qu’ayant été par le passé une zone d’endémie filarienne, les séquelles de la filariose lymphatique deviennent de plus en plus rares au Bénin. Nous rapportons un cas de volumineux éléphantiasis pénoscrotal pris en charge à la clinique universitaire d’urologie-andrologie de Cotonou. Il a été réalisé une plastie pénoscrotale par réduction volumétrique et reconstitution scrotale par deux lambeaux latéraux. Les résultats après un recul de six mois sont satisfaisants.

Abstract

Although historically an area of lymphatic filariasis endemic, repercussions from this disease are becoming rarer in Benin. We are reporting on an extreme case of penoscrotal elephantiasis, treated at the Urology-Andrology University Clinic in Cotonou. Penoscrotal plastic surgery was performed through the reduction in volume and reconstruction of the scrotum using two lateral flaps. Results after a follow-up at six months are satisfactory.
