Abstract
|
|
|
|
Secondary lymphedema is an acquired condition resulting from damage to or obstruction of previously normal lymphatic channels, resulting in interstitial accumulation of protein-rich fluid, subsequent inflammation, adipose tissue hypertrophy, and finally fibrosis. It usually develops from infection, trauma, or malignancy or is a malignancy related to therapy. It has been rarely reported after a femoral vein cannulation procedure. We report a case of secondary lymphedema in a lower extremity after a femoral vein cannulation trial in a patient with chronic kidney disease.
