ABSTRACT
Angiosarcoma arising from chronic lymphedema is referred to as Stewart-Treves Syndrome. It typically occurs as a complication of long-lasting lymphedema of the arm, after mastectomy and/or radiotherapy for breast cancer. Angiosarcoma associated with lymphedema of the lower extremity is rare. We report a case of angiosarcoma of the leg in a patient with a 15-year history of lymphedema due to cervical cancer operation and radiotherapy.
