Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Lymphedema is progressive once it develops, and in advanced cases, it becomes intractable with marked fibrosis of subcutaneous fat, significantly impairing the patient's quality of life. However, there are currently no tests available to evaluate fat fibrosis. We aim to establish a method for evaluating fat tissue fibrosis using ultrasound.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

To compare ultrasonography findings of subcutaneous adipose tissue with histological findings of adipose tissue obtained by surgery.
