We report on an Italian patient affected by severe lymphedema of lower limbs, genitalia and face, intestinal lymphangiectasia, seizures, and moderate mental retardation. He has a flat face, flat nasal bridge, and hypertelorism. We propose that he presents with a severe form of Hennekam syndrome.

Chest wall perforator flap reconstruction in breast conserving surgery: quality of life and limited complications in outpatient treatment.
World J Surg Oncol
January 2025
Canisius Wilhelmina Ziekenhuis, Nijmegen, Gelderland, Netherlands.
Background: Breast conserving surgery (BCS) with partial breast reconstruction (PBR) results in less morbidity, better cosmetic outcomes, and improved patient satisfaction compared to mastectomy. Perforator flap reconstruction can attenuate defects prone to breast deformity after BCS. Usually, postoperative drains and inpatient admission are part of this treatment.

Background And Purpose: Lymphedema is a debilitating late effect of cancer treatments, yet its prevalence beyond breast cancer remains understudied. This study examined the prevalence of lymphedema symptoms across cancer diagnoses and their association with depression, pain interference, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
Patients/material And Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Oncology, Copenhagen University Hospital, from February to April 2021, as part of a broader investigation into cancer-related late effects.
Long-Term Follow-Up After the Charles Procedure: Possibilities for Minimally Invasive Reconstructive Lymphedema Surgery With Lymphaticovenous Anastomosis: A Report of Four Cases.

The Charles procedure (CP) is a potentially devastating treatment; however, in cases of an end stage of untreated or improperly treated lymphedema, it is the ultimate surgical therapy. As a life-saving solution, it quickly relieves patients with giant, hypertrophic extremities, mostly in ambulation and hygiene maintenance. Nevertheless, long-term results may disappoint both doctors and patients, who struggle with social stigma, the need for lifelong compression, massive lymphoedema in the distal parts of the feet, badly fitting shoes, excessive skin fibrosis, severe keratinization of skin-grafted surfaces, periodic lymphorrhea from the resected areas, or acute and chronic inflammation.

Objective: The International Society of Lymphology (ISL) proposed a grading standard for lymphedema in 2020 based on the percent increase in the volume of the affected limb compared to that of the healthy limb. However, this method is cumbersome and time-consuming to measure and calculate, and a standardized formula across different institutions is not available. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the value of nonenhanced MRI for grading primary lower extremity lymphedema (PLEL).

Lower extremity lymphedema is a chronic and incurable condition. Treatment options for lymphedema have continued to advance and prognosis has improved; however, the condition still poses a substantial negative impact on patients' mental health. Therefore, the key questions raised in this study are "How many patients with lower limb lymph have depression symptoms?" and "Are there any differences in the symptoms and distress factors of patients with lower extremity lymphedema, and how do they experience distress?" A total of 112 lower extremity lymphedema patients from June 2021 to December 2023 were enrolled in the study.
