title: [Lymphedema praecox with an unusual localization].
abstract: We report the case of a 13-year-old girl with swelling of her left hand. Primary lymphedema was the conclusion of the examination. The case is published because this localisation of lymphedema praecox is extremely rare and it should therefore be considered as a possible differential diagnosis, when finding swelling of hand in adolescent girls.
