Abstract

The inguinal-iliac lympho-nodal fibrosclerotic processes appearing in female patients with primary lymphedema bring about an obvious tendency of reduction of the circulatory flux in the afferent lymphatics at some distance from the lympho-nodal area: at the foot or at the shank.

The inguinal lympho-nodal morphopathological alterations (examined in 72 cases of primary lymphedema) were followed, by distal lymph stasis at the level of the foot and of the leg, without sensibly affecting the lymph flow in the thigh. These aspects of the lymph stasis adjacent to the lympho-nodal areas are striking in the patients with secondary lymphedema.
