Abstract

Chylous discharge or "chylorrhea" from the scrotum secondary to filariasis is an infrequent manifestation. With the availability of effective medical therapy for filariasis, it has become even more unusual. We report on 2 patients who presented to us with a persistent milky white discharge from the vesicles on the scrotal surface, which otherwise showed no evidence of elephantiasis.
