Secondary lymphoedema of the leg can result in disruption of lymphatic vessels following lymph node surgery. Evidence supports the use of complex decongestive physiotherapy (CDP) in such cases, despite the possibility of tumour recurrence due to this therapy in cancer patients. We present the case of a 52-year-old woman who developed in-transit metastases and systemic evaluable disease one month after starting CDP for secondary lymphoedema of the leg.
腿部继发性淋巴水肿可在淋巴结手术后导致淋巴管破坏。有证据支持在这类病例中使用综合消肿物理治疗（CDP），尽管癌症患者接受这种治疗可能会出现肿瘤复发。我们报告了一例52岁女性的病例，该患者在开始接受针对腿部继发性淋巴水肿的CDP治疗一个月后出现了途中转移和全身可评估疾病。
