2 THE LYM PHATICS Primary abnormalities of the lymphatic vessels are rare. Disease in the lymph glands that interrupts the flow of lymph is common. Lymphoedema: Lymphoedema is the accumulation of lymph in the interstitial spaces as a consequence of defective lymphatic drainage. The oedema fluid is rich in protein, in contrast to the oedema of heart and kidney failure, which has a low protein content.

3 Lymphoedema of the right leg.

4 Genital oedema.

5 Secondary lymphoedema
Secondary lymphoedema. The patient’s right arm lymphoedema was caused by infiltration of the axillary lymph glands by metastases from a carcinoma in the right breast. Some carcinomas of the breast present in this way.
