Abstract
Erysipelas is a distinct type of superficial cutaneous cellulitis with marked dermal lymphatic vessel involvement caused by group A beta hemolytic streptococcus (very uncommonly group C or C streptococcus) and rarely caused by S. aureus. Lymphedema, venous stasis, web intertrigo, and obesity are risk factors in the adult patient.1 Erysipelas of the upper extremity following breast cancer treatment was vaguely described as a complication in a German-language journal2 and as a case report in a Dutch-language journal.
