In a case of atypical lipedema with skin hypoperfusion and ulceration, the authors propose that inflammation and microangiopathy explain the associated pain, while accumulation of matrix proteins (GAGs) and sodium leads to microvascular fragility, petechiae, bruising, and tissue ischemia.

“Inflamacao e microangiopatia explicariam a dor associada; o acumulo de proteinas de matriz (GAGs) e sodio levaria a fragilidade microvascular, petequias, hematomas e isquemia tecidual.”
The article is a single case report that briefly mentions inflammation and microangiopathy as proposed mechanisms for pain in lipedema, but does not provide direct experimental or mechanistic evidence; the primary focus is on surgical debul
