Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Rare Diseases
  • Lymphology

Background:

  • Yellow nail syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by yellow nails, lymphedema, and pleural effusions.
  • Pathophysiology is linked to impaired lymphatic drainage, affecting multiple body systems.

Observation:

  • This review examines the clinical presentation and management of yellow nail syndrome.
  • Four distinct cases are presented to illustrate the condition's variability.

Findings:

  • Yellow nail syndrome presents with characteristic nail changes, peripheral edema, and respiratory symptoms.
  • Impaired lymphatic function is the presumed underlying cause of the observed symptoms.

Implications:

  • Understanding the pathophysiology of yellow nail syndrome is crucial for effective symptom management.
