Leg swelling related to fluid buildup. Leg swelling caused by the retention of fluid in leg tissues is known as peripheral edema. It can be caused by a problem with the circulatory system, the lymphatic system or the kidneys. Leg swelling isn't always a sign of a heart or circulation problem.
Some conditions that may cause swelling in just one leg include: 1  Blood clots. Clots can cause pooling of fluid and may be accompanied by discoloration and pain. 2  Weakened veins. Varicose veins, or veins whose walls or valves are weak, can allow blood to pool in the legs. 3  Infection and inflammation.
