Lipoedema is a challenging problem as detailed knowledge is limited. Even today, only a small fraction of practitioners acknowledge the disorder. In his engaging talk within the current global medical online hub (MOH) webinar “Latest insights in the lipoedema pathophysiology and potential new therapeutic pathways” on August 27, 2022, Dr Stanley Rockson unravels the clinical problem of lipoedema and presented perspectives on how to move forward.

Lipoedema is a chronic disease of high unmet need. Challenges include lack of diagnostic tools and animal models, ignorance and prejudice, as well as getting international consensus due to limited research in this field. Drs Ramin Shayan and Tara Karnezis present their cutting-edge research on this topic within the current global medical online hub (MOH) webinar “Latest insights in the lipoedema pathophysiology and potential new therapeutic pathways” on August 27, 2022.

Prof. Tobias Bertsch began his presentation by stating that many physicians have a misconception regarding the difference between lipedema and lymphedema, which necessitates a clinical paradigm shift for adequate patient management.

Lipedema (or the "pole leg" disease) is a rare and painful disorder of adipose tissue. It mainly affects females and is generally misdiagnosed as lymphedema or obesity.

Lipoedema is an abnormal build-up of fat in the legs and sometimes arms. Susan Butcher highlighted several cases where the correct garment use helped lipoedema patients in treating the symptoms.
