Lymphedema is a localized form of tissue swelling resulting from excessive retention of lymphatic fluid in the interstitial compartment. It is caused by impaired lymphatic drainage. Lymphedema is a chronic progressive disease with serious physical and psychosocial implications. It can be challenging to diagnose, especially in obese patients and in those with coexisting venous disease. We performed PubMed and Google Scholar searches of the English-language literature (1966-2017) using the terms lymphedema, lymphedema management, and lymphatic complications. Relevant publications were manually reviewed for additional resources. There are currently no standard guidelines for the diagnosis of lymphedema. There is no cure yet for lymphedema, and the objective for management is to limit disease progression and prevent complications.
淋巴水肿是一种组织肿胀的局部形式，是由于淋巴液在间质腔内过度潴留引起的。它是由淋巴引流受损引起的。淋巴水肿是一种慢性进行性疾病，对身体和心理社会有严重影响。诊断具有挑战性，特别是在肥胖患者和伴有静脉疾病的患者中。我们使用淋巴水肿、淋巴水肿管理和淋巴并发症等术语对英文文献（1966-2017 年）进行了 PubMed 和 Google Scholar 搜索。手动审查了相关出版物以获取其他资源。目前尚无淋巴水肿诊断的标准指南。淋巴水肿尚无治愈方法，管理的目标是限制疾病进展和预防并发症。
