There are numerous reasons a patient may develop swelling of an extremity. One of the less common reasons, but often misdiagnosed or undiagnosed is lymphedema. What is lymphedema, why does it occur and who’s at risk for it? Early recognition is important to prevent complications and primary care providers play a crucial role in identifying patients with lymphedema, coordinating their care and providing follow-up. How can we differentiate lymphedema from other causes of swelling? What are the potential complications if lymphedema is not correctly diagnosed and finally, what are some of the latest treatments available for the management of lymphedema? The topic for this podcast is “Lymphedema: Challenges and Success” and my guests include Andrea L. Cheville, M.D., a physician in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and William J. Casey, III, M.D., a physician in the Department of Plastic Surgery, both at the Mayo Clinic.
