Purpose: The authors were focused on an occurrence, diagnostics,
and therapy of non-extremity lymphedema developing in association
with axilla dissection. Such lympedemas often remain unnoticed
by the physicians. They are most often located on chest, around
scapula and in the epigastric region. Such located lymphedema may,
similarly to the extremity lymphedema, deteriorate quality of patient's
life, including recur
Methods: Detailed anamnesis and thorough clinical examination
are basic presumptions of a correct diagnosis.
Subsequent lymphoscintigraphy of the region where a lymph
drainage impairment is suspected both confirms a lymphedema diagnosis
and pictures alternative lymphatic routes which drain the affected
region. Knowledge of this drainage route is necessary for an effective
treatment. |
