Overview
Lymphangitis being a manifestation of wide concurrently occurring spectrum of manifestations or pathologies.The physical examination findings vary from etiology to etiology.
Physical examination findings for individual infections are discussed in detail separately.
Physical Examination
Lymphangitis being a manifestation of wide concurrently occurring spectrum of manifestations or pathologies.The physical examination findings vary from etiology to etiology. Commonly associated history and symptoms with different forms of etiology include:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
Lymphangitis due to infectious etiology
Common physical examination findings of acute lymphangitis
- Fever
- Red streaks from the infected area to the regional lymph node
- Tender lymph nodes

Signs suggestive of severe infection Adapted from the 2005 IDSA Practice guidelines for the diagnosis and management of skin and soft-tissue infections.[9]
- Hypotension
- Cutaneous hemorrhage
- Disproportional pain
- Gas in the tissue
- Skin sloughing
- Violaceous bullae
Common physical examination findings of chronic granulomatous lymphangitis
- Painful or painless subcutaneous nodular swellings along the course of the lymphatic channels
- Tender lymph nodes

Lymphangitis due to Non-infectious etiology
Lymphangitis carcinomatosa
Common physical examination findings assoicated with lymphangitis carcinomatosa:[10]
- Cyanosis
- Signs of pulmonary hypertension
- Auscultation reveals moist or dry crackles
Sclerosing lymphangitis
Physical examination findings of sclerosing lymphangitis include:[11]
- A cordlike elevated strand 4 to 7 mm. wide which encircle the penile shaft.
- Palpation: the lesion was freely mobile and firm in consistency.
- On incision of the lesion a yellow-brown cord with multiple bulbous formations could be seen under the skin.
