The authors propose a clinical-ultrasonographic diagnostic algorithm for abdominal lipedema using maximum criteria (symmetric abdominal fat deposition + ultrasonographic evidence + inelastic skin), major criteria (pain on palpation + non-response to diet/exercise), and minor criteria (easy bruising + heaviness), correlating abdominal involvement with lipedema stage (31% in stage II, 70% in stage III).
