Abstract: . . . adenocarcinoma cells in the lymphatics [3]. It is well known that oedema of the arm and/or breast can occur after axillary dissection and/or radiotherapy to the axilla, or in advanced IDC, due to lymphatic disruption [5]. Involvement of the axillary nodes by lymphoma could presumably also interfere with lymphatic function. In the two cases of axilliary lymphoma (AL) simulating IBC, multiple biopsies of areas of breast skin affected by peau d’orange failed to reveal malignant . . . . . . Taubman et al.
