15-year-old tattoo causes cancer-like growth in woman
A 30-year-old woman in Sydney was diagnosed with 1.5-cm-wide lumps around armpits, a symptom mimicking lymphoma, cancer of the immune system. Although she did not have other lymphoma symptoms like fever, weight loss, itching, doctors explained, it was a delayed reaction from a tattoo she got 15 years ago, whose ink pigments were found in a surgically removed lymph node.
