We report a severe unilateral case in a 6-month-old boy with massive right-leg elephantiasis that impaired motor development. Examination and lymphoscintigraphy confirmed lymphatic aplasia and an obstructive pathology. Due to progressive enlargement and functional limitation, surgical debulking with excision of fibrofatty tissue and Z-plasty closure was performed, followed by Complex Decongestive Therapy. Postoperatively, the patient demonstrated good wound healing, a preserved range of motion, and improved function. This case highlights the importance of early multidisciplinary management and the role of surgical intervention in suspected extreme infantile Milroy disease.</p> 2026-10-05T09:11:03Z Dataset Dataset 10.3389/fsurg.2026.1902100.s005 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Table_1_Giant_congenital_lymphedema_in_an_infant_with_suspected_milroy_disease_hereditary_lymphedema_type_IA_a_case_report_docx/34068822 CC BY 4.0
