- Abstract:
- Lymphangiosarcomas represent the most dangerous complication of chronic lymphedema usually following mastectomy and irradiation therapy on account of breast carcinoma, well-known as Stewart-Treves syndrome. Still more rarely documented are lymphangiosarcomas arising in chronic lymphedema due to other causes. Two cases of Stewart-Treves syndrome on the forearm and one case of lymphangiosarcoma of the hand following a fifty-year existing chronic lymphedema after burn injury in childhood are reported. Clinical description and illustrations of all three cases are given, including list of references. Therapeutic procedures are described.
