What we can learn from this publication?

The case report describes a 27-year-old female patient with vulvar elephantiasis of one-year evolution associated with generalised itchy skin lesions. This clinical case is unusual because of the large volume of lymphedema, its atypical localisation, its association with generalised scabies, and the absence of a well-defined aetiology, which may explain its occurrence.
