Abstract
Lymph node malformations alone account for approximately 20% of primary lymphedema cases, and malformations are more common in inguinal nodes. Lymph node anomalies in primary lymphedema include hypertrophy, dysplasia, and aplasia. However, the pathology of lymph nodes is far from clear. Although rare, lymph node angioleiomyomatous hamartoma may be an anomaly in cases of primary lymphedema, for which the histological changes are clear.
