Elephantiasis nostras verrucosa is a rare, disfiguring complication of longstanding chronic lymphoedema. Lymphostatic verrucosis, also known as elephantiasis nostras verrucosa, is a rare form of chronic lymphoedema that causes progressive cutaneous hypertrophy leading to severe disfigurement of body parts (especially of lower limbs) with gravity. 090139 Corpus ID: 10989416; Elephantiasis Nostras Verrucosa (ENV): A Complication of Congestive Heart Failure and Obesity @article{Baird2010ElephantiasisNV, title={Elephantiasis Nostras Verrucosa (ENV): A Complication of Congestive Heart Failure and Obesity}, author={Drew C. 859 [convert to ICD-9-CM] Elephantiasis of unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid Elephantiasis of eyelid; Elephantiasis, eyelid ICD. Elephantiasis nostras verrucosa (ENV) is the most severe form of chronic non-filarial lymphedema that leads to disfiguration of body parts. Elephantiasis nostras verrucosa (ENV) represents cutaneous changes with fibrosis, papillomatosis, hyperkeratosis and verrucosis due to long-lasting lymphatic stasis, bacterial and mycological colonization, recurrence of infections and sometimes in combination with chronic venous insufficiency or severe obesity []. Chronic ulceration frequently affects the legs, in association with chronic venous insufficiency (45-80%), chronic arterial insufficiency (5-20%), diabetes (15-25%) and or peripheral neuropathy. Protein, water and waste products are released into tissue in the normal way but a damaged lymphatic system prevents the drainage away and swelling of the affected area results (lymphostasis). (B, C) Plaques with a moss-covered appearan-A 67-year-old man with a 10-year history of multiple nodules and verrucous plaques is presented, suggesting that venous stasis alone cannot produce the fibrotic nodular lesions of ENV. Causes include parasitic and bacterial infections, neoplasia and obesity, but numerous cases have uncertain aetiology. A 27-year-old male with primary lymphedema complicated by large painful ENV lesions on his left foot is excised surgically with good functional and cosmetic results as validated by the patient. 2011;64:1104-10. 1111/j. Elephantiasis nostras verrucosa (ENV) is a clinical manifestation composed of hyperkeratotic, verrucous, and papillomatous lesions and dermal fibrosis, which complicate chronic lymphedema. Maggot therapy for elephantiasis nostras verrucosa reveals new applications and new complications: a case report. Perhaps it was Mary's embryo-scientific zeal which prompted her to use the preparation on her left foot only, leaving her right foot as a control, and she developed a severe erysipelas-like infection with lymphangitis extending from the toes to the groin on. Elephantiasis nostras verrucosa represents an infrequent clinical entity with cutaneous changes characterized by dermal fibrosis, hyperkeratotic verrucous and papillamotous lesions resulting from chronic non-filarial lymphedema secondary to infections, surgeries, tumor obstruction, radiation, congestive heart failure, and obesity. The patient's erythrocyte sedimentation rate and white blood cell count showed. Elephantiasis nostras verrucosa (ENV) is an unusual skin condition characterized by dermal fibrosis and hyperkeratotic verrucous lesions resulting from chronic nonfilarial lymphoedema. Complications include cellulitis, lymphangitis, and lymphangiosarcoma.
