• Lymphedema of the Lower Extremity

  A seven-year-old girl with chronic hereditary lymphedema of the lower extremities had bilateral conjunctival lymphedema at birth. A swelling of the lower extremities developed shortly thereafter. [jhu.pure.elsevier.com]

  Lymphangiosarcoma (LAS) may occur as a rare complication of primary lymphedema. A case of LAS in hereditary lymphedema of the lower extremity in a 36-year old female is reported. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Lymphedema of the lower extremity, initially involving the foot, gradually progresses up the leg so that the entire limb becomes edematous (marked by edema). In the early stages of lymphedema, the edema is soft and pits easily with pressure. [healthcentral.com]

Continued Treatment Your doctor may recommend: Compression garments: These fabric sleeves apply pressure to the affected limb to help lymph fluid circulate. [webmd.com]

In fact, although the prognosis of this neoplasm is very poor, a prompt diagnosis and a rapid, ablative surgery associated with radiation therapy can increase the possibility of survival of these patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Long term prognosis is excellent is the condition is identified early and treatment begins so after the diagnosis is made ======================================================= National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc. [lymphedemapeople.com]

The other one-third of patients have a poor prognosis and very often need interventions. Lymphedema praecox, the most common form of primary lymphedema, is seen mostly in females. [cincinnatichildrens.org]

Hydrops fetalis is the end stage of a variety of fetal/maternal disorders and nonimmune etiology represents more than 3/4 of cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]

The findings support the recommendation that when peripheral lymphedema of undetermined etiology is found, further careful, comprehensive clinical, including detailed dysmorphic, evaluation along with lymphatic imaging with subsequent syndromic classification [arizona.pure.elsevier.com]
