Chyloderma is swelling of the scrotum resulting from chronic lymphatic obstruction.[1] Obstruction may be caused by infection, such as with a nematode like Wuchereria bancrofti, or long-term Chlamydia trachomatis; genetic conditions like hereditary lymphedema; or as a result of tissue damage either via trauma, lymphnode removal, or radiotherapy.[2] This condition is also known as lymphscrotum or elephantiasis scroti.
