white leg
Phlegmasia alba dolens (also colloquially known as milk leg or white leg; not to be confused with phlegmasia cerulea dolens) is part of a spectrum of diseases related to deep vein thrombosis. Historically, it was commonly seen during pregnancy and in mothers who have just given birth. In cases of pregnancy, it is most often seen during the third trimester, resulting from a compression of the left common iliac vein against the pelvic rim by the enlarged uterus. Today, this disease is most commonly (40% of the time) related to some form of underlying malignancy. Hypercoagulability (a propensity to clot formation) is a well-known state that occurs in many cancer states. The incidence of this disease is not well reported.

white leg
White leg, also known as necrosis, is a disease primarily found in shrimp farms, causing the shrimp to have a pale/whitish color in their legs. It is a bacterial infection that leads to massive shrimp death resulting in a significant economic loss. The name "white leg" comes from the most remarkable symptom: the whitening of the shrimp's legs. It is caused by different bacteria, mainly Vibrio spp, but other pathogens have also been associated.
