Abstract

This 32 year old female patient underwent left radical mastectomy due to ductal carcinoma on May 1990, and treated with FAM (5-fluorouracil, Adriamycin and Mitomycin C) regimen postoperatively. However, right cervical Iymph node enlargement and facial edema progressively developed since December 199). On April 1994, operation was performed, and findings were as followes; x4$\times$5$\times$7 to 1 : 1 $\times$ 1 cm sized multiple enlarged and hyperemic Iymph nodes were scatterred throughout submandibular area to the junction of superior vents cave and pericardium, and partially invaded both anterior segmental lobe, sternum and both distal tip of clavicles. After radical dissection of the nodes of neck and mediastinal nodes, and wedge resection of both anterior segments of lung, and partial resection of both clavicle tips and total sternum. The both innominate veins and superior vena cava were partially obstructed by invaded cancer SVC reconstruction was done with preclotted 10$\times$ 10$\times$ 18mm Y shap d woven Dacron graft, which was anastomosed to the point of the junction of subclavian vein and jugular vein after cross clamping both veins and 2cm above the pericardial junction with one arm clamp. After maintaining blood drainage to the SVC from the right side, left innominate vein was anastomosed with 4-0 Prolene continuous running suture. Bone cement was used for resected sternal portion and clavicular ends were fixed to postal portion with 18 Gauge wires. The patient was treated with radiation and chemotherapy after discharge, and there were no evidence of regrowing of the mass nor obstruction of the graft inspite of no antithrombotic therapy.
