DESCRIPTION
In the Italian scientific bibliographic panorama very few works have been published on lymphology, in particular lymphedema and lipedema. The present volume is the first also dedicated to patients with lymphedema and lipedema, pathologies still frequently confused medically. The text aims to offer patients and health professionals involved in the treatment of these conditions a simple and at the same time comprehensive tool to illustrate the deep origins of the two conditions, their diagnosis and differential diagnosis, the therapeutic possibilities and prognosis.
