Angiosarcomas are malignant tumors, which originate from the vessel endothelium and resemble the vessel structure. Stewart-Treves syndrome is an angiosarcoma which in general, develops in female patients after mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection and is associated with chronic lymphedema. The prognosis of this rare complication is very poor. We present the case of a 52-year-old female who had undergone mastectomy due to breast cancer and 13 years later required shoulder disarticulation due to Stewart-Treves syndrome.
血管肉瘤是一种恶性肿瘤,起源于血管内皮,形似血管结构。斯图尔特-特里夫斯综合征是一种血管肉瘤,通常发生于女性患者乳房切除及腋窝淋巴结清扫术后,与慢性淋巴水肿有关。这种罕见并发症的预后非常差。我们报告一例52岁女性患者,因乳腺癌接受了乳房切除术,13年后因斯图尔特-特里夫斯综合征需要进行肩关节离断术。
