Abstract
To reduce local recurrence, adjuvant locoregional radiotherapy is given routinely for post-mastectomy breast patients with 4 or more positive lymph nodes. Most institutions adopt a 3- or 4-field radiotherapy technique, in which the field and shielding placements are informed by bony anatomic landmarks viewed on digitally reconstructed radiographs.
Here, we report on a 40-year-old woman who underwent a lumpectomy with axillary node dissection, followed by chemotherapy, completion mastectomy, and adjuvant locoregional radiotherapy (50 Gy in 25 fractions) for a multicentric pT1cN2aM0 invasive ductal carcinoma of the right breast. At 9 months after radiotherapy, she presented with a palpable brachial lymph node, a major draining node of the upper extremity, in the axilla, abutting the previous anterior supraclavicular and axillary radiation fields. This occurrence highlights the potential superolateral border of the level
