We report 2 cases of acquired lymphangiectasias after breast radiosurgical treatment. This well known, rarely reported complication is probably due to a mechanical obstruction of the lymphatic network, and is generally preceded by lymphedema. Our 2 cases, however, did not have previous lymphedema. After a review of the literature, we discuss the role of reparative surgery and other treatment options.
