Objective: Lipedema is a chronic and progressive disease associated with lymphatic impairment at later stages. The aim of our study was to describe the functional status and anatomy of lower limb superficial lymphatic system using indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography in patients with lipedema.

Methods: Following ICG injection at the dorsum of the foot, distance (cm) covered by the dye at 10 (T10') and 25 min (T25') was measured and normalized for limb length.
