Abstract

Milroy disease is a form of congenital primary lymphedema that usually affects the lower limbs. Predominant genital lymphedema in Milroy disease is uncommon and disabling. When conservative management is ineffective, surgical treatment becomes necessary. Here, we present a rare case of congenital primary penile lymphedema in a 4-year-old child.

Keywords: surgery; vascular malformation.
