<unk>  in the CT scan The most common manifestation of<unk>  is soft tissue swelling, edema. As the disorder progresses, worsening edema and skin changes including discoloration, verrucous (wart-like) hyperplasia, hyperkeratosis, papillomatosis, dermal thickening and ulcers may be seen. Additionally, there is increased risk of infection of the skin, known as Érysipèle Complications When the lymphatic impairment becomes so great that the lymph fluid exceeds the lymphatic system's ability to transport it, an abnormal amount of protein-rich fluid collects in the tissues.<unk> ft untreated, this stagnant, protein-rich fluid causes tissue channels to increase in size and number, reducing oxygen availability. This interferes with wound healing and provides a rich culture medium for bacterial growth that can result in infections, cellulitis, lymphangitis, lymphadenitis and, in severe cases, skin ulcers. It is vital for<unk>  patients to be aware of the symptoms of infection and to seek immediate treatment, since recurrent infections or cellulitis, in addition to their inherent danger, further damage the lymphatic system and set up a vicious circle. In rare cases,<unk>  can<unk> ad to a form of cancer called lymphangiosarcoma, although the mechanism of carcinogenesis is not understood.<unk> -associated lymphangiosarcoma is called Stewart-Treves syndrome. Lymphangiosarcoma most frequently occurs in cases of long-standing<unk> . The incidence of angiosarcoma is estimated to be 0.45% in patients living 5 years after radical mastectomy.<unk>  is also associated with a low grade form of cancer called retiform hemangioendothelioma (a low grade angiosarcoma).<unk>  can be disfiguring, and may result in a poor body image, which can cause psychological distress. Complications of<unk>  can cause difficulties in activities of daily living.
