Abstract
A woman with postmastectomy lymphoedema presented with purplered nodules on the right upper arm. Histopathology of a skin biopsy showed a cutaneous angiosarcoma. Angiosarcoma arising in an oedematous arm is called the StewartTreves syndrome and is a rare and late complication of breast cancer treatment.
