<unk>  is an inflammation of the lymphatic channels.<unk>  is an ancient disease. The exact origins of the disease are not clearly known. There is no classification system established for<unk> . However, based on the etiology,<unk>  can be broadly classified into infectious and non-infectious causes. The etiology varies depending on the clinical form of<unk> .<unk>  is inflammation of the lymphatic system, a system that is comprised of small vessels of the immune system that carry lymphatic fluid. The fluid is filtered in the lymph nodes and spleen, drained into the subclavian veins through thoracic duct and finally returned back to the circulatory system. Differential diagnosis of<unk>  includes contact dermatitis, cellulitis, thrombophlebitis, fasciitis and myositis. Incidence, prevalence and demographics of<unk>  are poorly studied. Trauma, chronic disorders and infections of the skin are the common risk factors involved in the development of<unk> . Depending on etiology,<unk>  has a broad spectrum of natural history, complications, prognosis, clinical presentation and physical findings. The presence of certain non-specific laboratory findings, in the presence of<unk> , may be suggestive of certain underlying causes. Examples of tests that may demonstrate abnormal findings include CBC, ESR, CRP, and serology titers. The mainstay of therapy in<unk>  is antimicrobial therapy. Supportive therapy includes analgesics, anti-inflammatory agents, and warm compresses. Surgery is indicated in certain cases of nodular<unk>  that are complicated by abscess and lymphedema in addition to appropriate medical therapy. There is no established primary prevention for<unk> .
