Abstract:

Edema is defined as a clinically apparent increase in interstitial fluid volume. It is not a disease, but rather a symptom of another underlying disease process which alters the fundamental mechanics of the circulatory-interstitial-lymphatic fluid model. As such, one cannot diagnose edema without first defining the cause. The case described herein illustrates a possible cause of edema and provides a point from which to further explore the physiology, pathophysiology and treatment of lymphatic system dysfunction.
