ABSTRACT
Lymphoedema secondary to breast cancer is one of the most unfortunate outcomes, and lymphoedema secondary to breast cancer in the ipsilateral upper extremity and its management, has been described in the literature. We are reporting a case of lymphoedema and lymphorrhoea in the breast itself, managed by compression bandaging with limited resources and the use of active pharmacological agents in the palliative care unit of a tertiary care hospital. Lymphoedema and lymphorrhoea in the breast are not very common to see in clinics, but management of this case even though no protocol available, was done by modification of bandaging techniques available for limb lymphoedema management.
