Abstract :
Lymphoedema followed by mastectomy due to breast cancer treatment is the most morbid condition that may affect the survival of the patients (1). The incidence of breast cancer related lymphoedema is about 20% of the breast cancer survivor population. Furthermore, it is known that the risk of breast cancer related lymphoedema is higher after an axillary lymph node dissection, chemotherapy and radiotherapy than a sentinel node biopsy (2). Occasionally, it is a rare event almost occurs beyond years (3).
