Lymphedema is a chronic, progressive, and often debilitating condition. Primary lymphedema is a lymphatic malformation developing during the later stage of lymph angiogenesis. Secondary lymphedema is the result of obstruction or disruption of the lymphatic system, which can occur as a consequence of tumors, surgery, trauma, infection, inflammation, and radiation therapy. Here, we report a 64-year-old woman presenting with hyperkeratosis, a lymphedema due to metastatic uterus carcinoma. In this paper, we present the effects of complex decongestive physiotherapy on lymphedema and hyperkeratosis.
淋巴水肿是一种慢性、进行性且常使人衰弱的病症。原发性淋巴水肿是在淋巴管生成后期出现的淋巴管畸形。继发性淋巴水肿是淋巴系统阻塞或中断的结果，其可由肿瘤、手术、创伤、感染、炎症和放射治疗引起。在此，我们报告一名64岁女性，其因转移性子宫癌出现角化过度和淋巴水肿。在本文中，我们介绍了综合消肿物理治疗对淋巴水肿和角化过度的影响。
