Abstract
Filariasis, a parasitic infection caused by Wuchereria brancrofti, is common in Northern India and most common cause of secondary lymphedema. Dreaded complication of chronic lymphedema is lymphangiosarcoma. In our case, prolonged standing elephantiasis for about 2 decades leads to development of squamous cell carcinoma. Squamous cell carcinoma is a potentially lethal entity and awareness of association can lead to early intervention. We will discuss the management and possible pathogenesis of this unusual case.
Keywords : Filariasis, Elephantiasis, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Ulcer, Lymphedema, Lymphangiosarcoma.
