Abstract Purpose The tricipital, or Caplan's, lymphatic pathway has been previously
identified in cadavers and described as a potential compensatory pathway for lymphatic …

Background: The lateral upper arm channel is an accessory lymphatic pathway that drains
the upper extremity by means of the deltopectoral groove and supraclavicular nodes …

Background The lateral upper arm channel is an accessory lymphatic pathway that drains

Background: Knowledge of detailed lymphatic anatomy in humans is limited, as the small
size of lymphatic channels makes it difficult to image. Most current knowledge of the …

Background: Current predictive models of lymphedema risk cannot predict with 100%
certainty which patients will go on to develop lymphedema and which will not. Patient …

Background: Anatomic variations in lymphatic drainage pathways of the upper arm may
have an important role in the pathophysiology of lymphedema development. The Mascagni …

Background Neither anatomic nor functional descriptions exist of trunk/breast lymphedema
following breast cancer treatment. Indocyanine green (ICG)-lymphangiography has been …

Immediate lymphatic reconstruction (ILR) at the time of axillary lymph node dissection
(ALND) has become increasingly utilized for the prevention of breast cancer related …

Background This anatomic study details the lymphatic drainage of the upper extremity (UE)
and breast, as well as its course in the axilla and its relation to axillary reverse mapping. Two …
