Overview

Primary lymphedema is a form of lymphedema which is not directly attributable to another medical condition.

It can be divided into three forms, depending upon age of onset: congenital lymphedema, lymphedema praecox, and lymphedema tarda.[1]

It can be familial.[2]

Lymphedema tarda occurs in patient above 35 years of age
