  • Title: [Step-wise diagnosis of primary and secondary lymphedema].
    Author: Voigt H, Voigt T, Wiemers U, Pönitzsch I.
    Journal: Z Gesamte Inn Med; 1984 Jul 15; 39(14):348-51. PubMed ID: 6485435.
    Abstract:
    The diagnosis of the lymphatic oedema is possible by means of non-invasive methods. The degree of severity of the lymphatic oedema can already be assessed within the basic diagnostics (anamnesis, clinical findings). The recognition of secondary lymphatic oedemas is important, particularly of those due to tumours of pelvic organs. Indications and contraindications of other diagnostic methods (plethysmography, dye test, computer tomography, sonography, lymphography) in diseases of the lymphatic vessels are presented.
