Significance: Secondary lymphedema is a debilitating disease caused by lymphatic dysfunction characterized by chronic swelling, dysregulated inflammation, disfigurement, and compromised wound healing. Since there is no effective cure, animal model systems that support basic science research into the mechanisms of secondary lymphedema are critical to advancing the field. Recent Advances: Over the last decade, lymphatic research has led to the improvement of existing animal lymphedema models and the establishment of new models. Although an ideal model does not exist, it is important to consider the strengths and limitations of currently available options. In a systematic review adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we present recent developments in the field of animal lymphedema models and provide a concise comparison of ease, cost, reliability, and clinical translatability. Critical Issues: The incidence of secondary lymphedema is increasing, and there is no gold standard of treatment or cure for secondary lymphedema. Future Directions: As we iterate and create animal models that more closely characterize human lymphedema, we can achieve a deeper understanding of the pathophysiology and potentially develop effective therapeutics for patients.
