Abstract
Lymphedema praecox, a type of primary lymphedema, becomes evident at puberty, occurs mostly in girls, and is usually confined to the lower extremities. Arms tend to be involved in either congenital or secondary lymphedema. We describe a unique localization in an 11-year-old girl who had primary lymphedema of the right hand and arm. The pertinent literature is reviewed.
