Chronic lymphedema can lead to several long-term complications. The causes of lymphedema can be primary, due to a genetic source, or secondary to procedures, trauma, or other conditions. Primary hereditary lymphedema, as in the case of Milroy's disease, is rare. Because of the condition's rarity, case reports mostly involve presentations to monitor for. Here we document a case of Milroy's disease in a 70-year-old woman with recurrent left lung effusions.
慢性淋巴水肿可导致多种长期并发症。淋巴水肿的病因可能是原发性的,源于遗传因素,也可能是继发性的,继发于手术、创伤或其他疾病。原发性遗传性淋巴水肿,如米尔罗伊病,较为罕见。由于该病罕见,病例报告大多涉及需要监测的表现。在此,我们记录了一例70岁女性米尔罗伊病患者,该患者反复出现左肺积液。
