title: [Stewart-Treves syndrome: hemangiosarcoma in chronic lymphedema. Ultrastructural analysis of various clinical developmental stages].
abstract: Ultrastructural studies of angiosarcoma in chronic lymphedema (Stewart-Treves syndrome) at various stages of development show that endothelial cell proliferation originates not in the lymphatic but in the blood capillary vessels. The results indicate that the term "lymphangiosarcoma" is no longer suitable to describe the histopathologic characteristics of Stewart-Treves syndrome.
