RESUMEN

El linfedema es un edema debido a una alteración en el sistema linfático, a menudo afectando a los miembros y, generalmente, irreversible. Como resultado una parte del líquido filtrado que no reingresa a los capilares, no puede regresar a la circulación sistémica por los vasos linfáticos y se acumula en el intersticio. Los principales síntomas son: -Edema lento o repentino (rara vez) de alguna extremidad; -piel tensa y debilitada; -pesadez del miembro afectado; -endurecimiento y limitación del movimiento; -hormigueo y pérdida de sensibilidad; -sensación de calor, con o sin enrojecimiento; -sensación de cansancio, debilidad y/o dolor; -sensación de opresión de la vestimenta. Se distinguen dos tipos de linfedema. El linfedema primario o hereditario, resultante de una alteración del transporte debido a la obstrucción linfática por malformaciones de los vasos linfáticos, y el linfedema secundario como consecuencia del tratamiento oncológico [...]
