Sumario:Scrotal lymphedema is a rare disease, caused by obstruction of the lymphatic vessels draining into the scrotum, and may be induced by malignant lymphoma. A 27-year-old male, who was treated for Hodgkin's lymphoma, presented with scrotal swelling for 3 years. We observed huge scrotal swelling with extension to the suprapubic region and lower right limb, a significantly thickened scrotal wall, and nonpalpable testes. The patient underwent scrotal lymphedema excision followed by surgical scrotal and penile reconstruction. Treatment of scrotal lymphedema is challenging. However, we were satisfied with our surgical result. Our patient experienced both physical and psychological improvements.
