Abstract :
A 50-year-old woman presented to our clinic complaining of bilateral disfiguring of lower extremity by swelling and masses. She had been well until 30 years of age when she first noticed a feeling of heaviness in her legs and a need for progressively larger shoe sizes. A pitting edema had developed over the dorsum of her feet and progressed to non-pitting edema involving both her lower extremities, always more pronounced on the right side. She had experienced multiple bouts of cellulitis and skin ulcerations leaving scars on her lower extremities (Figures 1, 2, 3).
