Abstract

We report five patients who developed septic arthritis of the shoulder after cancer of the ipsilateral breast had been treated by surgery and radiotherapy. Lymphoedema was present in all cases. The infections were not obvious, having subacute onsets, and delays in diagnosis led to destruction of the joint in all but one patient.
