 To diagnose lymphedema of the extremities, it is essential to obtain an appropriate medical history and perform physical examinations related to the edema. Physical findings of this lymphedema would include changes in skin color, pitting or non-pitting edema, skin thickeness, lymphorrhea, and redness with cellulitis. Limb circumference measurements are the most commonly used routine in-office assessments and should be repeated regularly.

 Although advanced diagnostic imaging technology provides various types of information including the presence of lymphatic vessels and the quality of their walls, a careful and accurate physical examination is crucial to establish a prompt diagnosis and gather valuable information for the patientʼs care.
