Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Edema in Lipedema Revealed by Noninvasive 3T MR Lymphangiography

Rachelle Crescenzi et al.

Summary: 3T MR lymphangiography can distinguish lipedema from obesity or lymphedema. This study used MRI technology to identify characteristic features in patients with lipedema.

The Vicious Circle of Stasis, Inflammation, and Fibrosis in Lymphedema

Stav Brown et al.

Summary: Lymphedema is a progressive disease caused by impaired lymphatic drainage and accumulation of interstitial fluid. Secondary lymphedema resulting from cancer treatment is prevalent in developed countries. Recent research suggests that lymphatic injury triggers a chronic inflammatory response, with T-cell inflammation playing a key role. This review discusses the cellular and molecular mechanisms of lymphedema and potential preclinical therapies.

MRI of Lymphedema

Betsa Parsai Salehi et al.

Summary: Lymphedema is a devastating disease with no cure, but surgeries can help alleviate symptoms. MRI plays an increasingly important role in the diagnosis and evaluation of lymphedema, providing high spatial resolution of soft tissue edema and assessing secondary effects.

Physical Therapy in Women with Early Stage Lipedema: Potential Impact of Multimodal Manual Therapy, Compression, Exercise, and Education Interventions

Paula M. C. Donahue et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that women with lipedema can benefit from physical therapy, improving leg pain and quality of life. MRI measurements show a reduction in tissue sodium levels, indicating reduced inflammation in the treated limbs.

A Distinct Cytokine Profile and Stromal Vascular Fraction Metabolic Status without Significant Changes in the Lipid Composition Characterizes Lipedema

Stefan Wolf et al.

Summary: Lipedema is characterized by disproportionate adipose tissue increase in the limbs, with a distinct systemic cytokine profile and metabolic activity compared to healthy adipose tissue.
