Abstract
A 15-year-old girl with right lower extremity lymphedema praecox was treated through Low Level Laser Therapy
(LLLT), by means of a GaAs and GaAlAs diodes laser-therapy device. Treatment sessions were totally 24, each cycle
containing 12 every other day 15-minute sessions, and one month free between the cycles. The treatment was achieved
to decrease the edema and no significant increase in circumference of involved leg was found following three months
after the course of treatment. Although LLLT can be considered a beneficial treatment for Lymphedema Praecox, any
definite statement around its effectiveness needs more studies on more cases.
