Abstract:
Lipedema is secondary to local fat deposition, a disease characterized by the symmetric thickening of lower limbs, mostly occurs in women, especially in adolescence and pregnancy. In its early stage, it could be easily confused with lymphedema. Extensive literature review on primary fat edema in recent years, as well as a summary of the clinical symptoms and signs and diagnosis and treatment of lipedema were conducted, so as to provide a useful reference for clinicians.
