Brief Session Description : Secondary lymphedema significantly impacts patient function and quality of life, yet it is often underrecognized and misdiagnosed. This session will provide an evidence-based, practical approach to distinguishing lymphedema from overlapping conditions by reviewing pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and diagnostic criteria. Rehabilitation interventions including compression therapy, manual lymphatic drainage, exercises and the basics of wound care, will be discussed. Updated literature and expert consensus will be integrated to enhance clinical decision-making.
