Description
On the basis of two case reports the asymmetric presentation of the clavicle after ablatio mammae and axillary lymph node dissection is pointed out. This finding is caused by overstrain of the contralateral extremity and sparing of the operated arm and should not be taken as indicative of the presence of a metastatic bone lesion. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
Anhand zweier Fallbeispiele wird auf die asymmetrische Darstellung der Clavicula nach Ablatio mammae und Lymphknotenausraeumung der Achselhoehle hingewiesen. Der Befund wird durch die Ueberlastung der kontralateralen Extremitaet bei Schonung des operierten Arms verursacht und darf nicht zur Fehldiagnose einer Knochenmetastase fuehren.
