The lymphatic vasculature in disease

Nature Medicine, 2011
Blood vessels form a closed circulatory system, whereas lymphatic vessels form a one-way conduit for tissue fluid and leukocytes. In most vertebrates, the main function of lymphatic vessels is to collect excess protein-rich fluid that has extravasated from blood vessels and transport it back into the blood circulation.

Advances in Diagnosis of Diseases of the Lymphatics

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1962
Radiographic delineation of peripheral lymphatic vessels and of lymph nodes has aided in the specific diagnosis of regional edema and lymphatic neoplasms. Whereas anatomic abnormalities in lymphatic vessels are an infrequent finding in all types of primary venous disease, patients with primary lymphedema have shown dilatation, tortuosity, fragmentation,

Diseases of the Lymphatics

2000
The diseases of the lymphatics appear almost exclusively on the legs. Only occasionally are the arms, trunk and even head involved. The visual evidence of lymphatic disease is lymphedema, an edema or swelling that is the result of impaired lymphatic return.

LYMPHATIC DISEASES

Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 1992
The microcirculation is the keystone of bodily homeostasis. Although it may be altered organically as in arteriolosclerosis and diabetic angiopathy, its unique architecture makes it prone to spasticity. This article discusses vasospasticity and diagnostic approaches and treatment for Raynaud's vasospasticity, acrocyanosis, and livedo reticularis.

Comorbidity and Lymphatic Disease: The Lymphatic Continuum Re-Examined

Lymphatic Research and Biology, 2021
It has now been ∼20 years since the original Lymphatic Continuum conference was convened, and this continuum has transitioned from a compelling concept to a reality. The explosive growth in our comprehension of lymphatic genetics, development, and function has expanded and modified our traditional views regarding what is, and is not, lymphatic disease.

Imaging of Thoracic Lymphatic Diseases

American Journal of Roentgenology, 2009
This review will focus on radiographic description of lymphangiomas, lymphangiohemangiomas, pulmonary lymphangiomatosis, lymphangiectasis, lymphangioleiomyomatosis, lymphatic dysplasia, and traumatic lymphatic injury.Diseases of the thoracic lymphatic system have a wide variety of unique radiographic manifestations, all of which can be explained by the
