Vulval filariasis is extremely rare and accounts to 1-2 %of total cases of genital Elephantiasis.

However she chose not to seek treatment for the same and was noticed by a doctor on house to house polio survey and was refferred to Government Hospital. She underwent a wide mass excision oif Bilateral masses measuring35 x30 cm mass arising from right labia majora and 30x28 cm mass aring from left labia followed by vulvoplasty and restoration of near normal Labia. Other possible differential diagnoses were excluded, and ancillary tests were performed to reach a conclusive diagnosis of vulval elephantiasis on histopathology.
