Abstract in brief

Lipedema is a condition that mainly affects women, with about 10% of them experiencing it, but doctors often misdiagnose or overlook it because its exact cause is unknown and its symptoms can be varied.
The current understanding suggests that lipedema may involve abnormal fat cell growth, issues with small blood vessels, and disrupted lymphatic circulation, but no definitive biomarker exists yet, so diagnosis is mainly based on clinical examination.
Treatment options include complex decongestive therapy and liposuction, which has shown promise in reducing symptoms, but more high-quality research and development of specific diagnostic tools are needed to improve diagnosis and treatment.]
