Zusammenfassung:Peripheral lymphedema occurs because of mechanical or functional obstruction of the lymphatic system. Accurate diagnosis is important for the appropriate management of patients with lymphedema. Lymphoscintigraphy is a useful technique among the first-choice methods to detect lymphedema. Factors affecting the outcome of the test and different test protocols can make it difficult to interpret. The aim of this review is to provide a literature-based overview of the aetiology and diagnostic methods of extremity lymphedema and to summarise the current knowledge on lymphoscintigraphy protocols and interpretation. Keywords: Peripheral lymphedema, lymphoscintigraphy, scintigraphy protocols Periferik ekstremite lenfodemi lenfatik sistemin mekanik veya fonksiyonel obstruksiyonu sonucunda olusur.
