description We present the first case study of idiopathic gigantic suprapubic lymphedema and buried penis treated with puboscrotal reconstruction in a patient with initial extreme obesity after an extensive weight reduction (120 kg).

Severe lymphedema could not resolve on its own and weight reduction does not seem to be helpful in such cases.
