title: [A masked paraganglioma--a rare cause of pain in lymphedema of the arm].
abstract: The history is reported of a 66 year-old patient who suffered from postmastectomy edema and continuous pain on the ulnar side of the wrist. After microsurgical lymphatic grafting the edema diminished. At the site of pain there was a resistance palpable with reduced resonance on ultrasonography. At operation the authors excised a tumor which on histological and immunohistochemical investigation was compatible with a paraganglioma.
