Deskripsi
Worldwide, many vaccines have been developed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unilateral reactive axillary adenopathy related to the COVID-19 vaccine is a well-known occurrence. In addition, axillary edema has also been observed following COVID-19 vaccinations in patients undergoing breast MRI, and radiologists need to be aware of this possibility to avoid performing unnecessary work-up that can be costly to the health care system and be stressful for patients.
