Cover Story: After surviving breast cancer surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, many women face a new battle—managing arm lymphedema. Despite being active and health-conscious, one 47-year-old experienced repeated infections, and her concerns about persistent swelling were initially misdiagnosed and dismissed. Comprehensive treatment including MLD with a trained therapist stabilised the oedema, and later, liposuction was used to remove residual fat deposits. This compelling case report confirms the presence of an alternative lymph drainage pathway that aligns with traditional MLD techniques, emphasising the need for individualised care and challenging recent trends of uniformly draining to the ipsilateral axilla in all cases and stages. In the absence of patient-specific imaging, abandoning classic MLD approaches may compromise long-term outcomes. View this paper
