Early symptoms of lymphedema include heaviness in the limb, numbness, tingling sensation and puffiness of the skin. The new techniques of treating cancer, such as sentinel node biopsy and intra-operative radiotherapy, may have si...

While for some it may only represent a flaw in appearance, this condition can potentially have fatal consequences. Our case reports on the challenges of cellulitis in a lymphedematous extremity that progressed to septic shock. CASE PRESENTATION A ...
UNLABELLED Primary lymphedema and capillary malformation are independent vascular malformations that can cause overgrowth of the lower extremity. We report a series of patients who had both types of malformations affecting the same leg. The condition is unique but may be confused with other types of vascular malformation overgrowth conditions (eg, Klippel-Trenaunay and Parkes Weber). METHODS ...
BACKGROUND We hypothesize that mapping the lymphatic drainage of the arm with blue dye (axillary reverse mapping [ARM]) during axillary lymphadenectomy decreases the likelihood of disruption of lymphatics and subsequent lymphedema. METHODS This institutional review board-approved study involved 360 patients undergoing sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) and/or axillary lymph node dissection (AL...
Objective: Lymphedema on affected side of upper limb is one of the most common complications after breast cancer surgery. This paper intends to discuss the morbidity of limb lymphedema and analyzes related risk factors, in hope of providing some guidance for early prevention of such complication.
