Limb lymphedema was diagnosed on the basis of history and characteristic physical findings on the clinical examination. The inter-limb differences in volume, fat mass, and lean mass measured with DXA were categorized as none\/mild, moderate, or severe according to reference values (taking handedness into account for the upper limbs). Of the 431 patients, 109 (25%) had clinical melanoma-related limb lymphedema corresponding to 23 (10%) who had undergone axillary nodal surgery and 86 (45%) who had undergone inguinal nodal surgery. The majority of patients developed lymphedema within the first year (90%) after surgery, and the majority of lymphedemas were categorized as mild. The increase in the volume of limbs with lymphedema was primarily due to an increase in fat mass.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There is a high prevalence of melanoma-related limb lymphedema. The increase in volume in the limb with lymphedema is primarily due to an increase in fat mass. This increase in fat mass in limbs with lymphedema is important for the understanding of the pathophysiology and may be important in the treatment of lymphedema.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/lrb.2017.0013","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,8]],"date-time":"2017-09-08T14:37:31Z","timestamp":1504881451000},"page":"274-283","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Volume and Tissue Composition Changes Measured with Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry in Melanoma-Related Limb Lymphedema"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Caroline A.","family":"Gjorup","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Copenhagen","place":["Denmark"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Helle W.","family":"Hendel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Copenhagen","place":["Denmark"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Zerahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Copenhagen","place":["Denmark"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karin","family":"Dahlstroem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Copenhagen","place":["Denmark"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Krzysztof T.","family":"Drzewiecki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Copenhagen","place":["Denmark"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tobias W.","family":"Klausen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Copenhagen","place":["Denmark"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lisbet Rosenkrantz","family":"H\u00f6lmich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Copenhagen","place":["Denmark"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.12224"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejso.2016.06.407"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/SLA.0b013e31817ed7c3"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.sla.0000143271.32568.2b"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","first-page":"A4441","article-title":"Lymph node dissection in patients with malignant melanoma is associated with high risk of morbidity","volume":"59","author":"Ul-Mulk J","year":"2012","unstructured":"Ul-Mulk J, , H\u00f6lmich LR.
