유방절제술 후 임파육종은 유방암 환자에서 유방절제술 후 상지에 생기는 흔치 않은 악성 암이다. 유방절제술 후 임파육종에 평균 발병 연령은 63.9세이고 유방절제 후 발병할 때까지의 기간은 평균 10년 3개월이다. 유방절제술 후 임파육종은 혈관과 임파관에서부터 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있고 조직학적 소견은 진피의 부종과 악성세포로 둘러싸인 확장된 임파선이 특징이다. 견관절 분리술이나 전사분부 절제술 등의 광범위한 절제가 가장 효과적인 치료법으로 알려져 있고 방사선 치료를 포함한 다른 치료방법은 큰 도움이 않되는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 저자들은 유방절제술 후 만성 림프부종을 동반한 임파육종이 외부 방사선 조사에 의하여 종괴의 감소를 보여 이에 보고하는 바이다.

A 12-year-old neutered male Golden Retriever presented with a progressively enlarging mass in the submandibular region. Histopathological diagnosis confirmed lymphangiosarcoma with metastasis to the liver and spleen. The pleomorphic neoplastic endothelial cells of the tumor grow directly on bundles of dermal collagen, forming numerous clefts and interconnecting channels that are devoid of conspicuous hematic elements. As lymphangiosarcoma is an uncommon malignant neoplasm, the number of previously reported cases and information of the tumor is limited. The present report describes the clinical history and histopathological diagnosis of a progressive lymphangiosarcoma in the submandibular region with metastases in a dog.

Lymphangiosarcoma was described in a 2-year-old male Miniature Poodle. A 5 cm by 3 cm slightly elevated tan ventral abdominal mass was surgically removed with a wide margin and submitted for diagnosis. The mass has being grown rapidly during the last six months. On histopathology, the mass was composed of anastomosing channels or empty spaces which were free of red blood cells and lined by flat to plump pleomorphic neoplastic cells. The neoplastic channels or spaces were invasive into the surrounding fat and muscle tissues. Mild perivascular lymphocytic infiltration was also noted. Immunohistochemically, the neoplastic cells were positive to vimentin and Factor VIII. Based on histopathology and immunohistochemistry, the tumor was diagnosed as lymphangiosarcoma. Recurrence or metastasis was not noted so far after surgery.

Primary angiosarcoma of the breast is extremely rare and is observed in 0.0005% to 0.05% of primary breast tumor cases. The diagnosis of this tumor is difficult due to its undefined characteristics. Radiologic findings are often nonspecific and appear completely normal in one-third of patients with primary angiosarcomas. The prognosis is usually poor, and the treatment choices include mastectomy or wide excision. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy produce varying results. We report a patient with primary angiosarcoma of the breast to further our understanding of the characteristics of this tumor and facilitate the correct diagnosis of breast angiosarcoma.

Lymphedema is a phenomenon in which fluid is accumulated inside tissues due to the damaged lymphatic systems. Lymphedema can cause complications such as lymphangitis, infection, changes in skin texture, fibrosis, and lymphangiosarcoma. In this study, a lymphedema screening system based on the elasticity of the skin is proposed to easily quantify lymphedema. The developed probe consists of touch sensors, a load cell and hall-effect sensors to measure the indentation force on the skin and the return time of the skin. The developed system can be used to estimate the change in the elasticity of the skin to quantify lymphedema. The system was tested with a thyroid phantom and gelatin phantoms of different concentrations and the resulting force and the time were recorded. It was found that the increase in the elasticity leads to a higher indentation force and shorter return time. This shows that the developed system can monitor the change in the skin elasticity by measuring the return time and the indentation force. The feasibility of the system in clinical applications will be evaluated in the future study.
