All patients were cassified into 4 groups according to the radiological findings. Also histological findings in some of these patients were compared with the lymphangiographic patterns. Lack of lymphatic vessels suitable for lymphangiography on the dorsum of the foot does not mean aplasia of vessels in the extremity. Histological examination of the skin and lymphangiographies performer through the retromalleolar and femoral accesses have visualized normally developed lymphatic vessels, but with secondary degenerative changes. These findings speak against the theory of inborn defect of the lymphatic vasculature.}, title={Primary lymphedema of lower extremities. I.
