===Differential=== Lymphedema should not be confused with edema arising from [[chronic venous insufficiency]], which is caused by compromise of venous drainage rather than lymphatic drainage. However, untreated venous insufficiency can progress into a combined venous/lymphatic disorder known as [[Edema#Veins|phlebetic lymphedema]] (or phlebolymphedema).<ref>{{Cite journal |title=Sequelae of Untreated Venous Insufficiency |year=2005 |pmc=3036289 |last1=Nicholls |first1=S.
