This condition, which has the full name of 'erythrocyanosis frigida crurum puella rum' (cold reddish blueness of the legs of girls), is extremely common. It is not always recognized, being misdiagnosed as lymphoedema, vasomotor disease, arterial insufficiency, and other things. The skin of the legs is cold to the touch and exhibits patches of bluish discoloration. There may be chilblains and small superficial ulcerated areas. There is often an abnormally large amount of fat particularly above the ankle and around the tendo Achillis. For this reason it is sometimes called ' lipoedema'. The affected patches are often hypersensitive to light touch and may irritate with changes of temperature. Deeper palpation may reveal tenderness and nodularity of the underlying fat. The condition is usually symmetrical or alsmost so. The feet often remain normal. At typical case is illustrated in Figs. 14.22 and 14.23

An evidence-based guide to current understanding of lipedema, its causes and possible treatments, addressing what is known through human studies, what is unknown and needs investigating, and what is likely to emerge. Lipedema (or lipoedema) is a chronic lymphatic disorder in which abnormal levels of fat build up disproportionately in certain areas of the body, most commonly the hips, bottom and legs. Almost exclusively affecting women, who may seek help for years only to be met with ongoing anti-fat stereotyping, its significant life-changing impact has only recently been recognized, clinically and in terms of research funding. Even though research is now accelerating, there is still much left to be discovered. This book brings together the current knowns, unknowns and conjectures as a comprehensive resource for researchers, clinicians and patients seeking a roadmap to potentially improving the lives of up to 17 million women in the US and 350 million worldwide.
