  • In 1897, J. Maitland, a British surgeon, performed removal of adult filariæ in cases of lymphangitis.[2]
  • In 1912, McDonagh JE, described a case study of syphilitic elephantiasis of the scrotum involving lymphangitis.[3]
  • In 1913, Deaver and Pfeiffer described a concept of pancreatic and peripancreatic lymphangitis. [4]
  • In 1923, Sequeira JH, described a case study of tuberculous lymphangitis of skin.[5]
