- Abstract
The article examines the case of two patients who acquired lymphangiomata following surgery and radiotherapy for breast carcinoma. One of the patient was diagnosed as having carcinoma of the left breast in July 1985 and treated by lumpectomy and post-operative radiotherapy. However, there were no clear signs to suggest that the patient had acquired lymphangioma. It is opined that acquired lymphangioma can be indistinguishable clinically and histologically from lymphangioma circumscriptum. It is a rare but well-recognized complication of chronic lymphoedema.
