Abstract

Lymphatic dysfunction found in swollen limbs with chronic venous disease (CVD), including iliac venous outflow obstruction (venous lymphedema), is often mistaken for primary lymphedema because of an inability to differentiate the etiology by present investigations. The diagnosis of primary lymphedema is often based solely on clinical features, as radioisotope lymphangiogram may be abnormal in both types.
