Localized lymphedema of the genital region is a rare medical condition. It is named primary lymphedema if caused by a congenital malformation of the lymphatic system. Secondary lymphedemas might be induced by exogenous damage to lymphatic vessels as a result of surgical interventions, obesity, filariasis, radiotherapy or malignancy. We report a case of localized lymphedema of the genial region for which a previously unknown urothelial carcinoma turned out to be the underlying cause.
生殖器区域的局限性淋巴水肿是一种罕见的病症。如果是由淋巴系统的先天性畸形引起的,则称为原发性淋巴水肿。继发性淋巴水肿可能由手术干预、肥胖、丝虫病、放疗或恶性肿瘤等对淋巴管的外源性损伤所致。我们报告一例颏部局限性淋巴水肿病例,结果发现其潜在病因是一种此前未知的尿路上皮癌。
