Histological analysis of lipedema hand and foot tissue reveals perineurial/endoneurial macrophage infiltration (nerve-associated inflammation) concurrent with increased microvascular density, perivascular fibrosis, adipocyte hypertrophy, and mast cell infiltration, suggesting pain in lipedema involves both vascular and neurogenic inflammatory mechanisms.
