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 ...
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 evaluated by SLNB. If node metastasis was proved ...
Results Eighty‐three patients underwent successful SLNB, and one patient underwent selective neck dissection for intraoperatively identified occult lymph node metastasis. Five patients (6%) had a sentinel node positive for tumor, of whom 4/5 received further treatment (neck dissection, radiation, and...
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...
Results: 23 SDCa were identified, predominantly in men in 5th-9th decade. Facial nerve palsy (12%) and cervical lymph node metastases (82%) were present, and 96% received post-operative adjuvant therapy. Histologically, the tumors resembled high-grade invasive and in-situ ductal carcinoma of ...
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is capable to detect regional occult lymph node metastases at an early stage of malignant melanoma (MM). The value and reliability of SLNB as a staging procedure in MM of the limbs and trunk with a thickness of 1 mm or more have been determined conclusivel...
This fact and the non-specific nature of its presentation explain that tuberculosis is often an unexpected finding in biopsy results. Notwithstanding the advances in the diagnosis of tuberculosis, with ever speedier and more reliable tests such as polymerase chain reaction, its detection almost always...

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 ...
In view of this, it is reasonable to propose a more widespread use of ultrasonographically guided needle biopsy which, in addition to being a rapid and non-traumatic method, would allow precisely target samples to be taken from those lesions with a doubtful or unusual clinical or ultrasonic ...
