In a surgical lipedema cohort, abdominal involvement was found in 31% of stage II and 70% of stage III patients and was described as under-recognized; the authors propose a clinical-ultrasonographic diagnostic algorithm (maximal, major, and minor criteria, including hyperechoic subcutaneous nodules) to improve identification of abdominal lipedema.
