Past Highlights Overview Acute versus gradual-onset lymphedema Temporary versus chronic lymphedema Risk factors Diagnosis The lymphatic system collects excess fluid and proteins from the body tissues and carries them back to the bloodstream. Proteins and substances too big to move through the walls of veins can be picked up by the lymphatic vessels because they have thinner walls. Edema may occur when there is an increase in the amount of fluid, proteins, and other substances in the body tissues because of problems in the blood capillaries and veins or a blockage in the lymphatic system. Lymphedema may be either primary or secondary. Primary lymphedema is a rare inherited condition in which lymph nodes and lymph vessels are absent or abnormal. Secondary lymphedema can be caused by a blockage or cut in the lymphatic system, usually the lymph nodes in the groin area and the armpit. Blockages may be caused by infection, cancer, or scar tissue from radiation therapy or surgical removal of lymph nodes. This summary discusses secondary lymphedema.

Lymphedema differs from accumulation of fluid (edema) due to venous insufficiency, which develops when blood that is backed up in veins causes fluid to leak from blood vessels into tissues. Edema may be caused by heart failure (see Heart Failure ), but lymphedema is not. Lymphedema results when an abnormality prevents lymph from being reabsorbed into the capillaries as it normally is. As a result, the lymphatic system cannot adequately drain lymph from the tissues.

Lymphedema is a chronic swelling, due to inadequate lymph drainage. Swelling can be present anywhere on the body, but is most commonly seen in an arm or a leg. You are at risk for developing lymphedema if you have had lymph nodes removed and/or radiation therapy. This risk is usually restricted to the quadrant(s) from which the lymph nodes were removed and/or the radiation given. TYPES OF LYMPHEDEMA There are two types of lymphedema: primary and secondary.

Treatment Conditions and Diagnoses Lymphedema Related Services Hemangioma and Vascular Malformation Center Surgery What is it? How is it diagnosed? ... How is it managed? What is lymphedema? Lymphedema is a swelling that is caused by the abnormal accumulation of lymph fluid in tissue, resulting from faulty development of the lymphatic system or blockage of the lymph vessels. These vessels are small channels like blood vessels that contain a clear fluid called lymph. When lymphedema presents at birth or appears in childhood, it is referred to as primary lymphedema. When its cause is attributed to trauma, infection, or surgical removal of lymph nodes, it is referred to as secondary lymphedema. The two types of primary lymphedema seen in the pediatric population are congenital lymphedema and lymphedema praecox (Milroy's disease). Congenital lymphedema, which is the rarest form of primary lymphedema, appears early in life. It generally involves more than one limb, but rarely extends above the knee. Swelling enlarges at a slower rate than body growth. It becomes less pronounced with age, and only supportive therapy is required in two-thirds of cases. The remaining one-third of patients have a poor prognosis and frequently require surgical interventions.

Breast Cancer Related LYMPHEDEMA LYMPHEDEMA Lymphedema is a long-term swelling condition that can occur in the adjacent hand, arm, and/or the entire quadrant (chest, side and back) as a result of breast cancer surgery and radiotherapy. The lymphatic system drains excess protein and water from the blood and natural and foreign substances from the tissues. This lymph fluid is filtered by the lymph glands and then returned to the blood system. When the lymphatic system has been damaged or blocked, lymph fluid builds up and causes mild to severe swelling in the hand or arm. This condition reduces oxygen in the tissues, slows healing and creates an ideal environment for infection and serious risk to your general health. Lymphedema can occur at the time of surgery and treatment, or months or years later. It is important that women diagnosed with breast cancer are informed about the causes, symptoms, prevention and treatment of lymphedema. CAUSES surgical removal of the lymph nodes radiotherapy accidental trauma bruises, cuts, burns, sunburns, sprains, insect bites, pet scratches
