Overview
Lymphangitis being a manifestation of wider concurrently occurring spectrum of manifestations or pathologies. The epidemiology and demographics of this individual manifestation are poorly studied
Epidemiology and demographics
Lymphangitis being a manifestation of wider concurrently occurring spectrum of manifestations or pathologies. The epidemiology and demographics of this individual manifestation are poorly studied. Epidemiology and demographics of lymphangitis carcinomatosis and sclerosing lymphangitis are discussed below:
Lymphangits carcinomatosis
Epidemiology
Lymphangitis carcinomatosis occurs in 6-8% of the intra-thoracic metastasis from a malignant disease.[1]
Demographically
Higher prevalence of lymphangitis carcinomatosis is reported in males, when compared to females(60:40) and younger population.[1]
Sclerosing lymphangitis
Epidemiology and demographics
Incidence and prevalence of sclerosing lymphangitis is poorly studies. Demographically, it mostly occurs in younger male population between 20-40 years of age.[2]
