Scrotal lymphedema is a rare condition characterized by blocked lymphatic drainage to the scrotum, resulting in physical and psychological discomfort for sufferers. Here, we present a case study of a 27-year-old male with giant scrotal lymphedema resulting from paraffinoma injection. The patient experienced scrotal enlargement since 2019, which engulfed the penis and was surrounded by edema. After confirming the absence of filariasis parasites, the patient underwent paraffinoma excision and scrotoplasty, resulting in a 13 kilograms scrotal specimen with no signs of malignancy. Giant scrotal lymphedema can be distressing, but surgical excision can improve the patient's quality of life.
