Case description

This 42 year-old male with morbid obesity more than 500
libs. Came to our office to ask for help for weigh lost.

Elephantiasis nostras verrucosa (ENV), is an unusual
progressive cutaneous hypertrophy due to chronic
lymphedema, and repeated inflammatory episodes. It
usually manifests over the lower extremities as non-pitting
edema with lichenification, hyperkeratotic papules,
nodules, and verrucous, cobblestone-like plaques.
