Extensive vaccination programs are being implemented worldwide for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). With the spread of vaccination, swelling of the lymph nodes after vaccination is frequently seen. We encountered a patient who developed left axillary lymphadenoma following vaccine administration.
The patient was a Japanese woman in her 80 s who had previously undergone surgery for right breast cancer. She received two injections of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine in her left arm. Approximately 3 months later, she complained of left axillary swelling, and imaging resulted in a diagnosis of left axillary lymphangioma. In accordance with the patient's wishes, we performed axillary mass resection. The pathological diagnosis was lymphangioma.
Our examination findings indicated that congestion of the axillary lymph vessels might have been caused by upper-arm injections of the COVID-19 vaccine.
全球正在实施针对2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的广泛疫苗接种计划。随着疫苗接种的普及,接种后淋巴结肿大的情况屡见不鲜。我们遇到了一名在接种疫苗后出现左腋窝淋巴管瘤的患者。
该患者是一名80多岁的日本女性,此前曾接受过右乳腺癌手术。她在左臂接种了两剂辉瑞-BioNTech COVID-19疫苗。大约3个月后,她抱怨左腋窝肿胀,影像学检查诊断为左腋窝淋巴管瘤。根据患者意愿,我们进行了腋窝肿块切除术。病理诊断为淋巴管瘤。
我们的检查结果表明,上臂接种COVID-19疫苗可能导致腋窝淋巴管充血。
