Lymphatic     filariasis is a filarial disease which usually occurs with genital anomalies,     pathologies associated with lymphedema or elephantiasis caused by a filarial     infectious agent. In this case report, a 20-year-old male patient admitted to     our clinic for diagnosis and treatment with right leg edema and lesions     compatible with dermatological manifestations. In the list of differential     diagnosis, filarial elephantiasis was also thought, consequently KTS was     diagnosed. (Turkiye Parazitol Derg 2012; 36: 188-90).
