Background As a clinical evaluation of secondary lymphedema of the leg, indocyanine
green (ICG) lymphographic assessment has established its usefulness. In this study, we
analyzed the ICG findings of patients with secondary lymphedema of the leg, focusing on the
location and spreading pattern of dermal backflow (DBF). Methods Between April 2013 and
June 2015, we investigated ICG findings performed on 90 patients with secondary
lymphedema of the leg following malignant cancer resection. The patients comprised 88 …
