The paper discusses the histories and results of examination of 200 cases of lymphedema of the upper extremity developing after radical surgery for breast cancer. Forty percent of patients had suffered erysipelas, its frequency being higher in a group of pronounced edema. The incidence of erysipelas dropped 5.7 times following application of pneumatic compression, suggesting the use of the procedure for erysipelas by stimulating lymph drainage.
