Elephantiasis Nostras Verrucosa: A Treated Case With Dietary Intervention and Acitretin.

Elephantiasis nostras verrucosa (ENV) is a rare and extreme complication of chronic non-filarial lymphedema. It can lead to severe disfiguration of body parts, especially the lower extremities, and is characterized by non-pitting edema and papulonodules with a verrucose or cobblestone-like appearance. Obesity is a risk factor of ENV. Various treatments have been reported for ENV. A 52-year-old woman presented to our outpatient dermatology clinic with non-pitting edema, cobblestone-like papulonodules, and erythematous plaques on both legs for 2 years. Her medical history included morbid obesity with a body mass index of 44.8 kg/m
