Its onset can be sudden or gradual, and may be present in the extremities, trunk, head and neck, external genitalia, and internal organs. In some cases it develops after trauma or deep vein thrombosis, while in others it occurs without obvious cause at different stages in life.1 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/19 UR - accessphysiotherapy.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1148788017 ER -
