[Lymphangitis carcinomatosa].
The authors present a 86 years old male patient with gradually developing upper right arm swelling. There were several hyperaemic papules, vesicles and teleangiectases on his arm. The histology revealed a lymphangitis carcinomatosa. There were no signs of any tumor, but multiple isotope accumulations in the bones. Anaplastic thyroid gland carcinoma with multiple metastases were found at autopsy.
