Core Tip	This article presents a case of a 40-year-old female patient who developed severe lower extremity lymphedema following treatment for endometrial cancer. The patient underwent a combination of complex decongestive therapy (CDT) and lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) therapy. This treatment regimen resulted in significant improvement in the patient's lower limb motor function, with the near-complete resolution of discomfort and a substantial return to normal limb appearance. This case suggests that the combined application of CDT and LVA therapy offers a promising therapeutic approach for severe, deformed lymphedema. This minimally invasive strategy, with its associated benefits of minimal surgical trauma and good postoperative aesthetics, has the potential to equip future clinicians with improved management strategies for severely deformed lower extremity lymphedema.
