Sentinel lymph nodeRecurrenceLymphoscintigraphyNodal basinsBackground: Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy for head and neck (H&&N) melanomas may be more technically challenging compared with other locations because of complex lymphatic drainage patterns. This analysis was performed to compare the results ...
Lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymph node biopsy are standard components of the care of newly diagnosed patients with clinically localized intermediate- and high-risk melanoma. The procedures are the culmination of a long evolution of the management of regional lymph nodes in newly diagnosed patients. ...

Our goals was to evaluate how sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) benefit neck management in patients with parotid cancer. Patients diagnosed with cN0 parotid cancer by preoperative fine needle puncture were prospectively enrolled. The neck status was eval
Sentinel Lymph NodeThyroid CarcinomaLateral Neck DissectionIntroduction: The surgical management of lateral lymph nodes in differentiated thyroid carcinoma is controversies. Therefore, we analyzed whether sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) biopsy of the first draining nodes in the jugulo-carotid chain is an ...
Conclusions SLNB can be used to identify regional lymph node metastases in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck with a high negative predictive value (95%–100%). Factors associated with recurrence were tumor being locally recurrent at presentation, arising from an area of ...
The surprisingly high yield from biopsy of inguinal lymph nodes was ascribed to a greater hesitancy on the part of th surgeon to do a biopsy of the nodes in the groin, unless they were strongly suggestive of disease. The highest yield rates were obtained when Boeck's sarcoidosis was ...
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is an accurate staging procedure for malignant melanoma but its use in patients with melanoma of the head and neck has been questioned in the past because of a perceived record of poor safety and accuracy. Technical improvements have sought to redress this. Vit...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate prognosis and surgical management of head and neck melanoma (HNM) and the accuracy of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). All patients with a primary cutaneous melanoma treated starting from 01/07/1994 to 31/12/2012 in the department of Plastic and ...
