title: A successful right axillary artery graft to repair a ruptured axillary artery due to the involvement of lymphoma: report of a case.
abstract: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is a very common, highly invasive lymphoma, which typically presents as a rapidly enlarging symptomatic mass with local compression of vessels or airways, and often is involved with the peripheral nerves and the destruction of bone. Vascular invasion is extremely rare. We herein describe the case of a successfully treated 42-year-old man who presented with massive bleeding due to a rupture of the axillary artery and vein involvement due to lymphoma.
