With obstruction of the lymphatic system, lymph will be unable to return to the systemic circulation (ie - the blood). Instead, this lymph builds up in the tissues causing swelling that can become extreme. Elephantiasis occurs when a microorganism causes obstruction of the lymphatics and results in grossly swollen appendages.
