Overview
Certain cases of nodular lymphangitis that are complicated by abscess and lymphedema require surgical intervention besides appropriate medical therapy.
Surgery
Lymphangitis due to infectious etiology
Surgery could be indicated in certain infectious etiologies of lymphangitis due to localized swimming pool granulomas, lymphangitis associated with abscess, and lymphangitis associated with lymphedema following significant lymphatic obstruction, besides an appropriate medical therapy.[1] [2]
Lymphangitis due to non-infectious etiology
Sclerosis Lymphangitis
. In recurring cases of Sclerosis lymphangitis, surgery may be undertaken with extirpation of the affected vessel.[3][4]
