Discussion: You might not pick up at the first look but this is a common MRCP PACES question. What you notice here is the patient left upper limb is more swollen than the right. So, obvious causes are either central stenosis or lymphatic obstruction. Therefore,always look for presence of dialyis fistula or catheter. Central stenosis usually happens after prolonged usage of neck catheter, make sure you look at the neck for scar.Lymphatic obstruction is either due to breast cancer or previous radiation, look for masectomy scar or radiation mark, You should proceed to do the following, 1) Suggest to examiners you would like to check femoral catheter if you can't one in the neck 2) History of neck catheter insertion 3) Suggest to examiners you would like to ask about history of breast cancer
