Lipedema is characterized by symmetric lower extremity enlargement secondary to the deposition of fat. Lipedema is not rare, but it is commonly misdiagnosed as lymphedema. We describe a 20-year-old woman with massive lower extremity enlargement that did not respond to compression therapy. Magnetic resonance imaging of the lower extremities helped to confirm the diagnosis.
脂肪性水肿的特征是由于脂肪沉积导致双下肢对称性肿大。脂肪性水肿并不罕见，但常被误诊为淋巴水肿。我们描述了一名20岁女性，其双下肢严重肿大，对压迫疗法无反应。下肢磁共振成像有助于确诊。
