We read with great interest the article “Gluteal lymphoedema associated with lower
extremity lymphoedema: A preliminary study with indocyanine green lymphography and
magnetic resonance imaging” by T. Karlsson et al. (J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg.
2022 Oct 19;76:88–93).

As shown, it is significant that skin thickening can often be seen as a consequence
of gluteal lymphoedema. It is also understandable that severe cases of lower extremity
lymphoedema (LEL) complicates gluteal lymphoedema. However, since we found that there
were some drawbacks and inaccurate points in the procedures of the study, we would
indicate them based on our evidence and experience.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment

- PreviewIndocyanine green (ICG) lymphography studies have identified that one in three to five patients with cancer-related lower extremity lymphoedema (LEL) demonstrated dermal backflow extending to the gluteal region. This study aimed to further characterize gluteal lymphoedema using contemporaneous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
