The man with the largest scrotum in the world

The debate for this patient for much of the day was whether his scrotum was the size of a large cantaloupe or a small watermelon.

Still unsure as to its melon classification, we decided we had better get a second opinion. Our initial impressions were large scrotum due to…massive swelling of the scrotum…?? Dr Khan on the other hand had a more scientific way of putting it. It turns out he had elephantiasis (worms blocking all his lymph vessels) creating, you guessed it, the largest scrotum in the world! Who said 4 years at med school was wasted?!
