ABSTRACT
Stewart-Treves syndrome is a rare disease defined by the occurrence of angiosarcoma in chronic lymphedema. Its management remains difficult combined to a poor prognosis. Causes of this syndrome are dominated by the surgical treatment of cancers but other, rarer causes of lymphedema may be responsible. It is then either of congenital origin or occurs on a post-traumatic paralyzed limb.
