I Was Recently Diagnosed With Lymphangioma. Has Any One Had This?

I had a growth on my chest, right next to my mastectomy scars. My doctor did a biopsy and this was determined to be Lymphangioma. I am told that radiation may have caused lymphangiomas because these result from trauma, inflammation, or lymphatic obstruction. I am having this surgically removed today.

I have a lump in the center of my chest, near the scar of my two mastectomy. I feel pain but I try to convince myself that is really nothing to be worry. Thanks to Adena and Gayla I will send a picture to my surgeon and wait for his answer

I had something similar called fibromatosis. Lump on the same breast as the surgery and radiation. They also said was caused by the trauma of everything. The bad thing is that it reoccures and when they find one they have to remove and send to pathology because I guess it has stranding like BC and they can tell the difference without sending to pathology. They are very sore. Every little pain now scares me that I have another one but at least its not BC!!

My mom also had the”dog eared flap”surgery,and she is also really tight in the same area,&almost looks to have uneven tiny breast ..Thank you for sharing the picture so I can show her!!The radiation Doc doesn’t think the surgeon took enough tissue and she doesn’t mind being flat,but hates the lumps!!Glad you are sending this to the Dr and would love to know what they say. Thank you again for being so open!!Bless you and continued prayers of healing💖🙏🏻
