Síndrome de Stewart-Treves: Caso clínico
Angiosarcomas are malignant tumors derived from the endothelium of blood vessel (hemangiosarcomas) or lymph vessels (lymphangiosarcomas). Lymph edema of the limbs is considered secondary when extrinsic injuries are observed and primary when these injuries are not present. Stewart-Treves syndrome or...
