The clinical recognition and evaluation of congenital lymphedema of the lower extremities with abrupt onset in a 51-year-old man are reviewed. A rational, systematic approach is outlined and exemplifies the use of an interdisciplinary effort to achieve accurate diagnosis through readily available diagnostic procedures.

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.

Lymphedema, defined as the abnormal accumulation of protein rich fluid dysfunction of the lymphatic system, is a common sequela of cancer therapy. The incidence is highest among patients who have undergone resection and irradiation of a lymph node bed.

AbstractLymphedema is often diagnosed by its characteristic clinical presentation. In some cases, however, instrumental investigations are necessary to establish the diagnosis, particularly in early stages of the disease. One of the primary problems for microsurgery in treating lymphedema consists of the discrepancy between the excellent technical ...

Lymphedema is one of the main late effects from breast cancer treatment affecting 3-60% of breast cancer survivors. Primarily occurring in the hand, arm, and/or affected breast, symptoms of lymphedema include swelling, pain, redness, restriction of arm/hand movement, tightness and feelings of fullness.

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 ...

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

Axillary lymph-nodal dissection (ALD) for the surgical treatment of breast cancer plays an important role in consideration above all of the incidence of early and late complications (upper limb edema, pain at thoracic wall, impaired function of the limb), that sometimes can hide the real benefit for the patient.

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.
