Patient went to medical consultation of reconstructive surgery service after having been attended by multiple specialties previously for presenting for 6 years a progressive increase of volume in legs, heaviness and skin changes accompanied by bad smell. Physical examination showed severe edema in the genitals and lower extremities, patient had mild pain when compressed and was accompanied by thickening of the skin, nodules, fetidness and moisture in folds. (Figure 1). A complete approach was taken to rule out secondary causes of lymphedema including parasites and negative results were found. Late onset lymphedema was diagnosed.
