Physiopathology of sclerous cellulitis

Phlébologie
J F Merlen

Abstract

Despite the erroneous and inexact term used to describe it (hypodermite scléreuse), sclerous cellulitis is a clinical, microvascular-tissular phenomenon caused by venous stasis and its lymphatico-connective sequelae. It figures in veno-lymphatic polymicroangiohistopathy, and it may be venous in origin, but the end result is cutaneous. Its clinical aspects are polymorphic, its development is long and its treatment difficult because of the histoangial substratum.
