DearCustomer

I think you mean lymphedema.......Lymphedema is localized swelling caused by a compromised lymphatic system. The danger with lymphedema is developing an uncontrolled infection to the affected area. It generally occurs due to poorly-developed or missing lymph nodes in the body.

Here is a link to more information on lymphedema:

I hope this helps!
