Abstract
Elephantiasis is a well-known condition in dermatology usually affecting the legs and external genitalia. It is characterized by chronic inflammation and obstruction of the lymphatic channels and by hypertrophy of the skin and subcutaneous tissues. The etiology is either idiopathic or caused by a variety of conditions such as chronic filarial disease, leprosy, leishmaniasis, and chronic recurrent cellulites.

Lipectomy should be considered in the management of this condition.</AbstractText></Abstract><AuthorList CompleteYN="Y"><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>Hanna</LastName><ForeName>Dominique</ForeName><Initials>D</Initials><AffiliationInfo><Affiliation>Dermatology department, CHUQ Hotel-Dieu de Québec, 11 cote du Palais, G1R 2J6, Ste-Foy, Québec, Canada. dominiquehanna@hotmail.com</Affiliation></AffiliationInfo></Author><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>Cloutier</LastName><ForeName>Richard</ForeName><Initials>R</Initials></Author><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>Lapointe</LastName><ForeName>Roch</ForeName><Initials>R</Initials></Author><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>Desgagné</LastName><ForeName>Antoine</ForeName><Initials>A</Initials></Author></AuthorList><Language>eng</Language><PublicationTypeList><PublicationType UI="D002363">Case Reports</PublicationType><PublicationType UI="D016428">Journal Article</PublicationType></PublicationTypeList></Article><MedlineJournalInfo><Country>United States</Country><MedlineTA>J Cutan Med Surg</MedlineTA><NlmUniqueID>9614685</NlmUniqueID><ISSNLinking>1203-4754</ISSNLinking></MedlineJournalInfo><CitationSubset>IM</CitationSubset><MeshHeadingList><MeshHeading><DescriptorName UI="D000005" MajorTopicYN="N">Abdomen</DescriptorName></MeshHeading><MeshHeading><DescriptorName UI="D004604" MajorTopicYN="N">Elephantiasis</DescriptorName><QualifierName UI="Q000601" MajorTopicYN="Y">surgery</QualifierName></MeshHeading><MeshHeading><DescriptorName UI="D005260" MajorTopicYN="N">Female</DescriptorName></MeshHeading><MeshHeading><DescriptorName UI="D006801" MajorTopicYN="N">Humans</DescriptorName></MeshHeading><MeshHeading><DescriptorName UI="D015187" MajorTopicYN="N">Lipectomy</DescriptorName></MeshHeading><MeshHeading><DescriptorName UI="D008875" MajorTopicYN="N">Middle Aged</DescriptorName></MeshHeading></MeshHeadingList></MedlineCitation><PubmedData><History><PubMedPubDate PubStatus="pubmed"><Year>2005</Year><Month>8</Month><Day>11</Day><Hour>9</Hour><Minute>0</Minute></PubMedPubDate><PubMedPubDate PubStatus="medline"><Year>2005</Year><Month>9</Month><Day>28</Day><Hour>9</Hour><Minute>0</Minute></PubMedPubDate><PubMedPubDate PubStatus="entrez"><Year>2005</Year><Month>8</Month><Day>11</Day><Hour>9</Hour><Minute>0</Minute></PubMedPubDate></History><PublicationStatus>ppublish</PublicationStatus><ArticleIdList><ArticleId IdType="pubmed">16092000</ArticleId><ArticleId IdType="doi">10.1177/120347540400800405</ArticleId></ArticleIdList></PubmedData></pubmed></record>Pour manipuler ce document sous Unix (Dilib)
