Abstract

Lymphedema is a clinical condition in which an accumulation of macromolecules occurs in the interstitial space and an atypical evolution known as elephantiasis nostras verrucosa may occur. The objective of this study is to report on the clinical evolution and analysis of the progression of a 56-year-old patient with a diagnosis of primary bilateral stage II lymphoedema. With an atypical presentation of it, identified as elephantiasis nostra verrucosa. The patient had suffered from lymphoestatic edema since he was 10 years old, having previously received ineffective treatments until he arrived at the Clinica Godoy in Sao Jose de Rio Preto Brazil, where he underwent an intensive therapy procedure treatment model proposed by Godoy and Godoy; in which favorable results were obtained in a short period of time. Lymphedema is a chronic disease that is manageable but not curable. It is also difficult to be treated, especially if it has progressed to a late stage such as elephantiasis nostras verrucosa associated the continuous and repetitive infectious and inflammatory processes over time must have contributed to the evolution of the fibrotic pattern. Intensive treatment based on the Godoy method® is possible reduce in short period of time the volume and improve fibrosis and quality of life this patient.
疣状外象皮病1例
淋巴水肿是一种临床情况,其中大分子积聚在间隙中,并可能发生被称为疣状外象皮病的非典型演变。本研究的目的是报告一名56岁诊断为原发性双侧II期淋巴水肿的患者的临床演变和进展分析。非典型表现,确诊为疣状象皮病。患者自10岁起就患有淋巴性水肿,之前接受的治疗无效,直到他来到巴西圣荷西德里奥普雷图的Godoy诊所,在那里他接受了Godoy和Godoy提出的强化治疗程序治疗模式;在短时间内取得了良好的效果。淋巴水肿是一种可控制但无法治愈的慢性疾病。它也很难治疗,特别是如果它已经发展到晚期,如疣状外象皮病,随着时间的推移,持续和重复的感染和炎症过程必须促进纤维化模式的演变。基于Godoy方法®的强化治疗可以在短时间内减少体积,改善纤维化和患者的生活质量。
