  • Title: Stewart-Treves Syndrome of the Lower Extremity.
    Author: Veiga RR, Nascimento BA, Carvalho AH, Brito AC, Bittencourt Mde J.
    Journal: An Bras Dermatol; 2015; 90(3 Suppl 1):232-4. PubMed ID: 26312726.
    Abstract:
    Stewart-Treves syndrome is a rare cutaneous angiosarcoma that develops in long-standing chronic lymphedema. Though most commonly this angiosarcoma is a result of post mastectomy lymphoedema, it also develops in Milroy disease, idiopathic, congenital, traumatic and filarial lymphoedema. Despite the rarity of this syndrome and its poor prognosis, early diagnosis associated with radical surgery can provide improved survival. We report a case of angiosarcoma in the lower limb in a patient with chronic lymphedema associated with history of repeated erysipela episodes.
