Resumen

El linfedema facial secundario a un tratamiento oncológico es una entidad rara e incapacitante, que ocasiona alteraciones funcionales y estéticas.

Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 61 años, que a raíz de una neoplasia de lengua en 2015 y tras varios tratamientos, incluyendo diversas intervenciones quirúrgicas, linfadenectomía ganglionar cervical bilateral y radioterapia adyuvante, desarrolló linfedema facial y labial.

Fue remitida al servicio de rehabilitación por aumento de volumen facial y labial, sialorrea, xerostomía, dificultad para deglutir, leve disatria y protrusión labial. Debido a la repercusión funcional y el defecto estético que esto causaba a la paciente, se realizó un plan de tratamiento rehabilitador que consistió en drenaje linfático manual, colocación de ortesis facial nocturna de silicona y taping linfático. La paciente mejoró tanto subjetiva como objetivamente en términos de dureza y volumen facial, aunque observamos leve mejoría del linfedema labial.

Abstract

Facial lymphedema secondary to treatment by a neoplastic process is a rare and disabling pathology, causing functional and aesthetic alterations. A case report of facial and labial lymphedema describing the functional repercussion and aesthetic defect. We present a 61-years-old female patient suffered a tongue neoplasia and bilateral cervical lymphadenectomy in 2015. After several treatments, including diverse surgical interventions and adjuvant radiotherapy, developed facial and labial lymphedema. The patient was sent to our Rehabilitation Department complaining about swelling of the face and lips, dysphagia, sialorrhea, xerostomia, dysarthria and decubitus in lower lip by labia protusion. Due to the functional repercussion that it caused in the patient, rehabilitating physical treatment was planned with manual lymph drainage, facial silicone orthosis and lymphatic taping. The patient improved both subjectively as well as objectively in terms of hardness, volume and slight improvement of lip lymphedema.
