📋Overview
This condition represents a severe manifestation of lymphatic system dysfunction where fluid accumulation leads to significant enlargement and hardening of skin tissues. It most often affects the lower extremities or the genital region when the lymphatic system cannot effectively drain interstitial fluid.
While some cases are congenital, the condition is frequently acquired through secondary factors. Globally, the most common cause is a parasitic infection that results in chronic inflammation and substantial tissue expansion.
