    Journal: Chirurg; 1988 Sep; 59(9):605-9. PubMed ID: 2852580.
    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.
