A case of localised traumatic lymphoedema: observations concerning the obstruction of initial lymphatics and tissue channels by fibrin, and Menkin's hypothesis.
A case of acute lymphoedema is described. It was caused by a sharply localised, nearly circular, trauma. While there was minimal bruising, the trauma broke enough blood vessels to cause the blockage, by fibrin, of the initial lymphatics and tissue channels. This encircled a region, superficial to the deep fascia, and significantly prevented both the tissue fluid reaching the lymphatics and transport via the system. In addition, there was a short-lived, generalised lymphoedema, presumably caused by damage to the saphenous collecting lymphatics.

Prostaglandins, rheumatoid arthritis, fibrin and lymphoedema.
Rheumatoid joint swelling is in part due to lymphoedema accompanying extravascular (E-V) deposition of fibrin. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin (ASA), phenylbutazone (PBZ) and indomethacin (INDO) which share the ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthetase fail to prevent fibrinous lymphoedema occurring in rabbit skin homografts in association with the presence of sensitised lymphocytes. The data highlight the need to define whether or not prostaglandins promote lymphocytic fibrinous lymphoedema.
