Abstract:	Congenital lymphangiectasia with lymphedema is a disorder constituting the main defect in many different genetic syndromes. Herein we describe a 23-year-old male patient with congenital lymphangiectasia and severe lymphedema of the right leg, scrotum, and abdominal wall, who presented with end-stage renal disease, presumably due to cystic renal lymphangiectasia, and is undergoing chronic hemodialysis treatment. Received: 19 April 2000 / Revised: 4 October 2000 / Accepted: 5 October 2000

Keywords:	End-stage renal disease Hemodialysis Lymphangiectasia Lymphedema
