Abstract

Lymphatic filariasis is caused by a haemo-parasite Wuchereria bancrofti . It is an endemic parasitic infection in the tropical and subtropical countries of the world. As such it is a major health problem in India with many patients being asymptomatic. The common presentation of genital filariasis in India is secondary vaginal hydrocele with associated epididymo-orchitis. Lymphatic filariasis may also present as lymphoedema with lymphadenopathy, genital lymphoedema and swelling of the lower limbs. Here we present a case of filariasis with a rare presentation of a penile nodular swelling mimicking a sebaceous cyst and without genital or limb lymphoedema.

Keywords: Filariasis; Wuchereria Bancrofti; Penile; Sebaceous Cyst.
