Lymphangiectasis of lower limb: A rare challenging case
Bhattacharya, Visweswar; Mishra, Biswajit; Barooah, Partha Sarathi; Chaudhuri, Gaurab Ranjan & Bhattacharya, Siddhartha
Abstract
Lymphangiectasis usually occurs in the viscera. Involvement of the lower limb is very rare. It is difficult to establish the diagnosis without detailed investigations. Clinical features are peculiar and may mimic lymphoedema of different origins which needs to be ruled out. Contrary to the expectation, the post-operative result is excellent in the long-term follow-up.
Keywords
Lower limb; lymphangiectasis
