초록
Elephantiasis, which is the final stage of lymphedema, has swelling, papillomas and discharges in the skin. Although this disease is recorded in literature since 50 AD, the treatment is not yet. After all this time, complex lymphedema therapy (CLT) involving lymphatic massaging, bandaging, exercise, and skin care is becoming recognized as the best approach to care for people who develop lymphedema. The patient was a 30-year-old male who complained of swelling, papillomas, and discharges on left leg. He was received with CLT for 2 months, and the symptoms of him were improved.
