Lipedema is a disproportional obesity featuring spontaneous or light pressure-induce pain and frequent hematoma formation due to even minor traumatic injuries. It is generally distinguished from general obesity primarily based on clinical hallmarks; however, this becomes difficult when appearing in
Background/objectives: Patients with obesity and lipedema commonly are misdiagnosed as having lymphedema. The conditions share phenotypic overlap and can influence each other. The purpose of this study was to delineate obesity-induced
Lipedema is a disproportional obesity due to unknown pathomechanism. Its major hallmark is frequent hematoma formation related to increased capillary fragility and reduced venoarterial reflex. Beyond microangiopathy, both venous and lymphatic dysfunction have also been documented. However, arterial
Lipedema is a disproportional obesity for which evidence-based treatment is not currently available. We studied whether complete decongestive physiotherapy (CDP) alone or combined with intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) could improve the treatment outcome in women with lipedema using a
Frequently misdiagnosed as obesity, lipoedema is chronic condition involving an abnormal build-up of fat cells in the legs, thighs and buttocks that cannot be shifted by exercise or dieting. Estimated to affect up to 11% of the female population, the condition is widely unknown by health
Lymphoedema is a clinical manifestation of an impaired lymphatic drainage with accumulation of lymphatic fluid. Lipoedema is characterized by bilateral enlargement of the legs and/or arms due to abnormal deposition of fatty tissue, which accumulates fluid. Conservative treatment including
Lipedema is a disorder of adipose tissue characterized by abnormal subcutaneous fat deposition, leading to swelling and enlargement of the lower limbs and trunk. The aim of this study was to evaluate the lipedema phenotype by investigating the role of polymorphisms related to IL-6 Lipedema is a symmetrical disorder of the subcutaneous adipose tissue that affects almost exclusively women in postpubescent age. The trinity of disfiguring hyperplastic adipose tissue of the proximal extremities, increasing pain over time and bruising is characteristic. Lymphedema can occur in both
Lipedema is a lymphedema-masquerading symmetrical, bilateral and disproportional obesity. Its conservative maintenance treatment comprises the use of flat-knitted compression pantyhoses. Lipedema is known to be associated with left ventricular morphological and functional alterations. The present
Lipedema is a disproportional obesity featuring frequent hematoma formation due to even minor traumatic injuries. On the basis of clinical observations, complete decongestive physiotherapy diminishes the incidence of hematomas due to minor injuries beyond leg volume reduction. Hematoma development
Overweight and obesity is a public health problem in Hungary and in the Western world. It is important to underline that obesity is an illness and an important risk factor for several skin and other diseases. An overview of skin diseases caused or aggravated by obesity (acanthosis nigricans,
METHODS
In a 66-year-old obese woman (WHO stage III, BMI 51 kg/m2) pronounced osteoarthritis of the right knee was diagnosed. Because of progressive chronic pain of the right knee joint her walking distance was limited to a few meters. Conservative therapy was exhausted.
METHODS
Clinical examination
The population of morbidly obese patients, along with the incidence of lymphedema and massive localized lymphedema associated with this condition, is increasing. A 5-year retrospective review of data (2000-2005) shows that the percentage of patients >350 lb in the authors' clinic population
Lipoedema is a chronic progressive adipose disorder that affects mainly women and presents as symmetrical enlargement of the buttocks and legs. It is commonly misdiagnosed as obesity or lymphoedema, but careful assessment will reveal a disproportionate enlargement below the waist which is resistant
