Lymphedema is an accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the interstitial tissue that causes swelling, most often in the arm(s) and/or leg(s), and occasionally other parts of the body. Lymphedema develops when lymphatic vessels are missing or impaired (primary), or when lymph vessels are damaged or lymph nodes are removed (secondary).

•  Chronic swelling
•  A heavy swollen limb
•  Localized fluid accumulation in other body areas     including the head or neck
•  Discoloration of skin overlying the lymphedema
•  Deformity (elephantiasis)
•  Severe fatigue
