title: [A woman with purple-red nodules in an oedematous arm].
abstract: A woman with postmastectomy lymphoedema presented with purple-red nodules on the right upper arm. Histopathology of a skin biopsy showed a cutaneous angiosarcoma. Angiosarcoma arising in an oedematous arm is called the Stewart-Treves syndrome and is a rare and late complication of breast cancer treatment.
