ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

We report a case of a Stewart-Treves syndrome of the lower limb. The tumor is best described in the upper limb following breast cancer treatment but a small number of cases have arisen in lymphedema of the lower limb. Electrochemotherapy could be useful in the palliative treatment of this lymphangiosarcoma.
