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.
Others
To compare ultrasonography findings of subcutaneous adipose tissue with histological findings of adipose tissue obtained by surgery.
Ultrasound findings of the subcutaneous fat layer
Histological findings of fibrosis in the subcutaneous fat tissue
Histological findings of fibrosis in lymphatic vessels
