Abstract

Purpose: The study aimed to assess the frequency of Langer's arch in patients undergoing axillary dissection for breast cancer.

Methods: From January-2015 to March-2020, in a general hospital in México City, female patients undergoing axillary dissection for breast cancer were studied. The analysis involved: demographic and anthropometric data, type of surgical treatment, histopathologic diagnosis, number of lymph nodes harvested, and frequency of Langer's arch finding.

Results: The sample studied was 123 axillary dissections. The mean age of the patients was 59 ± 10.5-years. Modified radical mastectomy was done in 117 cases (95.1%). Ductal carcinoma occurred in 96 cases (78%). The mean number of lymph nodes harvested was 24 ± 6.5. Langer's arch finding occurred in 33 cases (26.8%).

Conclusion: Langer's arch is frequent in our patients undergoing axillary dissection for breast cancer.

癌症患者腋窝解剖中的Langer弓：一项回顾性研究。

目的：本研究旨在评估癌症腋窝淋巴清扫术中Langer弓的发生频率。方法：从2015年1月至2020年3月，在墨西哥市一家综合医院，对女性癌症患者进行腋窝切除术的研究。分析包括：人口统计学和人体测量数据、手术治疗类型、组织病理学诊断、采集的淋巴结数量和Langer氏弓发现频率。结果：所研究的样本为123例腋窝解剖。患者的平均年龄为59岁 ± 10.5年。改良根治性乳房切除术117例（95.1%）。导管癌96例（78%）。采集的平均淋巴结数为24个 ± 6.5、Langer弓发现33例（26.8%）。

期刊介绍： Anatomy is a morphological science which cannot fail to interest the clinician. The practical application of anatomical research to clinical problems necessitates special adaptation and selectivity in choosing from numerous international works. Although there is a tendency to believe that meaningful advances in anatomy are unlikely, constant revision is necessary. Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, the first international journal of Clinical anatomy has been created in this spirit. Its goal is to serve clinicians, regardless of speciality-physicians, surgeons, radiologists or other specialists-as an indispensable aid with which they can improve their knowledge of anatomy. Each issue includes: Original papers, review articles, articles on the anatomical bases of medical, surgical and radiological techniques, articles of normal radiologic anatomy, brief reviews of anatomical publications of clinical interest. Particular attention is given to high quality illustrations, which are indispensable for a better understanding of anatomical problems. Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy is a journal written by anatomists for clinicians with a special interest in anatomy.
