Özet
Introduction: Lymphoedema results from impaired lymphatic transport leading to the
pathologic accumulation of protein-rich lymphatic fl uid in the interstitial space, most commonly
in the extremities. Primary lymphoedema, a developmental abnormality of the lymphatic system,
may become evident later in life when a triggering event exceeds the capacity of normal lymphatic
fl ow. Clinical Picture: We present a 3-year-old nephrotic syndrome patient with an unusual
localisation for primary lymphoedema. Treatment and Outcome: The patient was treated with
conservative approach and she was cured. Conclusion: In this particular case, lymphoedema
developed at an unusual localisation, which has not been recorded before.
