A multitude of articles have been published on lymphedema management. We aim to identify the 100 most-cited articles on the management of lymphedema and perform a bibliometric analysis. In July 2023, a title-specific search was made on the Scopus database using “lymphedema” as the primary search term. The top 100 most-cited articles were reviewed. The top 100 most-cited articles on lymphedema received a mean citation of 81.7 ± 71.9 per article (range of 11.0 to 420.0). The publication dates ranged from 1977 to 2015. Most of the articles were original (63.0%), interventional studies (35.0%), randomized controlled trials (RCTs) (31.0%), and systematic reviews (32.0%). The largest number of articles (31) were found between 2007 and 2011. The top 10 articles’ citation counts ranged from 164 to 420 (mean of 244.7 ± 83.9 citations). Five of these 10 articles were published between the years 1990 and 2000. Twenty-five countries contributed to the 100 most-cited articles. The United States produced the most number of articles (n = 32), followed by Italy (n = 11), Sweden, and Turkey, with seven articles each. Four of the top 10 articles were RCTs; the remaining six were systematic, retrospective, and prospective studies. The New England Journal of Medicine published two of these top 10 articles. Retrospective studies had the highest mean citation with 196.5, followed by RCTs with 100.9. We identified the 100 most-cited articles that depict the advancement in treatment methods for lymphedema. This extensive information directory can be an excellent source for further research.
