Post-vaccination SARS-CoV-2 axillary adenopathy. Differences with axillary metastases from breast cancer.

The differential diagnosis of the metastatic axillary lymphadenopathies of breast cancer with which they occur secondary to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine against COVID-19, is imperative. In a series of cases, we analyzed the characteristics of unilateral axillary lymphadenopathy in patients after Pfizer-BioNTech vaccination. Axillary lymphadenopathy were observed ipsilateral to the vaccination arm. The axillary ultrasound defined these as reactive and that they disappeared in 3 weeks. The pathological findings were benign. The anamnesis, the place and date of vaccination and the radiological findings, play an essential role to carry out a correct differential diagnosis and follow-up of these adenopathies.
