Lymphedema of the extremities is well documented in the literature. We present a case of lymphedema involving the face of a 27-year-old man and discuss the clinical presentation, microscopic findings, and surgical treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first such case report in the literature.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1988
Lymphedema tarda is a rare form of primary lymphedema. Its cause is unknown; an autoimmune destruction of lymphatic channels can be hypothesized. A case of lymphedema tarda in which direct immunofluorescent studies of involved tissue showed no immune deposits is presented. The differential diagnosis of this condition is also discussed.

Lymphedema is a chronic, debilitating condition that has traditionally been seen as refractory or incurable. Recent years have brought new advances in the study of lymphedema pathophysiology, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic tools that are changing this perspective.To provide a systematic approach to evaluating and managing patients with ...

Cancer, 2001
An important sequela of cancer treatment is lymphedema. Management of this condition must be based on the physiologic functioning of the lymphatic system and tailored to the individual patient's presentation of the disease. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent worsening of the condition and to help assuage the psychologic impact of ...

The pathophysiology of lymphedema
Cancer, 1998All edemas result from an imbalance between capillary filtration and tissue (lymph) drainage. This basic approach was adopted to investigate mechanisms for chronic arm edema following breast carcinoma treatment.A review of causes of lymphedema is presented plus the traditional pathophysiology of breast carcinoma related lymphedema (postmastectomy edema;

To the Editor.— In regard to the question asked in "Management of Chronic Lymphedema in a Young Man" by L. George Hershey, DO (241:1625, 1979), I was distressed with the final answer by David I. Abramson, MD. There is adequate evidence that it takes pressures of between 20 to 30 mm Hg to keep lymphedema under control, and this is similar to work done

A century ago, the first description of secondary lymphedema resulting from mastectomy was published in the medical literature. For most of the remaining twentieth century, evidence about cancer treatment related lymphedema grew slowly, and mostly through clinicians who wished to understand its causes, natural-history, and post-treatment risks, as well
