| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recurrent cellulitis has high impact on physical, psychological, and social aspects for lymphedema patients. We speculated that identification of characteristics of skin and subcutaneous adipose tissue with cellulitis history can help considering new approach for prevention of recurrent cellulitis in lymphedema patients. Therefore, as the main topic in this study, we aimed to noninvasively identify the ultrasonographic features of skin and subcutaneous tissue of lymphedema in patients with a cellulitis history. In this study, cellulitis history in lymphedema patients appears to be associated with dermal hypoechogenicity, particularly in the proximal lower extremity. This finding suggests that it may be the initial step to consider new approach for prevention of recurrent cellulitis in lymphedema patients.
