Abstract
Lymphoedema is swelling due to the excess accumulation of lymph in the tissues caused by inadequate lymph drainage owing to primary or a secondary etiology. Here we present a rare case of secondary lymphoedema of the vulva which exaggerated with each successive pregnancy with considerable remission in between with residual mass left behind following termination of each pregnancy, though the size of the remnant mass increased at the end of each successive pregnancy.
