(H7451)] - a malignant ulcerous leprosy, which particularly attacks and swells to hideous deformity the legs and knees. This is an exact description of elephantiasis-a horrible disease, something like leprosy, which covers the body with a foul and ulcerous skin, attacks particularly the lower extremities, which are covered with tumours that degenerate into loathsome and incurable sores.
