Abstract

We describe a 56-year-old woman who received dialysis through a right jugular catheter and developed a progressive right breast enlargement 1 year after arteriovenous graft shunt construction in the right forearm. Arm edema was not observed. A fistulography showed retrograde long thoracic and lateral thoracic veins flow secondary to a right brachiocephalic vein occlusion. Breast enlargement disappeared completely 2 weeks after a transfemoral balloon angioplasty and stent placement.
