- Magnetic resonance lymphangiography in severe primary lymphedema of the right hand. — Rahman MT, Biswas HK, Rahman MM. (2026) ✓ verified — contextual · case report · 2026 · reading confidence: high
“MRL demonstrated advanced lymphedema (stage 2b) characterized by markedly impaired lymphatic function, extensive fibrotic changes, and hypertrophy of adipose tissue.”
Single case report demonstrating MRL imaging findings for staging primary lymphedema, but it does not compare against lipedema or other fat distributions, so it does not directly test differentiation between conditions.
