[What is your diagnosis? A "fat arm". Onchocerciasis].

We report a case of edema of the right forearm with pruriginous papules and eosinophilia in the blood. The patient had lived in a forested area of Cameroon. The clinical, laboratory, and geographical findings led to a diagnosis of onchocerciasis, despite the absence of microfilaments on skin biopsy samples. The patient was successfully treated with ivermectin and doxycycline.
