脂肪水肿是以局部脂肪沉积为主要临床表现的疾病,常表现为四肢、臀部及髋关节皮下脂肪组织不成比例地增加,临床上常将其误诊为肥胖症或淋巴水肿。其发病机制不明确,临床治疗方法没有统一标准。该文对脂肪水肿发病机制的研究情况进行了阐述,并从临床表现及分类、诊断与鉴别诊断、治疗方法等方面进行了总结,以提高对脂肪水肿的认识。

Lipedema is a disease in which local fat deposits in the body are the main clinical manifestations.It is often characterized by a disproportionate increase in subcutaneous fat tissue in the extremities,buttocks or hip joints.It is often misdiagnosed as obesity or lymphedema in clinical practice.The pathogenesis is not clearly understood,and there is no standardized clinical treatment method.This paper elaborated on the research status of the pathogenesis of lipedema,and summarized the clinical manifestations and classification,diagnosis and differential diagnosis,treatment methods,etc.,aiming to provide up-to-date perspectives of lipedema.
