Case description

Recurrence is common due to the protein rich edema. In
the previous reports of abdominal ENV, it was
hypothesized that the massiveness of the panniculus
caused increased interstitial and intravascular pressure
predisposing the patients to chronic low-grade cellulitis
and lymphangitis.
