Title
Isotope lymphographic findings in lipedema
Abstract
Lipedema of the lower extremities are diagnosed on the basis of clinical findings . An exact differentiation is necessary since therapeutical considerations are depending on the pathophysiology of the diseases. In lipedema (Allen and Hines) as weil as in erythrocyanosis cruris puellarum (Klingmüller) an examination of the state of the lymphatic vessels is justified. Using isotope lymphography the lymphatic capacitY, of the lower extremities can be assessed without problem. As demonstrated a disturbance of lymphatic transport is not regularly present in these two syndroms. Therefore we can not consider them as lymphedema. The frequent appearance of unilateral lymphostasis with definite clinical differenccs of both extremities indicate on the other band that lipedema is not seldom superimposed by the lymphedema .
