Fat necrosis in the breast from methylene blue dye injection.
Sentinel lymph node biopsy has become the standard of clinical care in staging axillary lymph nodes for breast carcinoma. While deemed safe and effective, methylene blue dye has been associated with infection, fibrosis, and skin and fat necrosis. The variable appearance of surgical dye-related fibrosis and fat necrosis on imaging studies poses a challenge to both radiologists and clinicians. We...
متن کاملSkin and fat necrosis of the breast following methylene blue dye injection for sentinel node biopsy in a patient with breast cancer
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a simple technique that uses subdermal or peri-tumoral injection of vital blue dye and/or radioactive isotope to identify the first lymph node(s) draining the primary tumor. It has been shown to accurately predict axillary node status in patients with clinically node negative breast cancer. The SLNB is emerging as a new standard of care in patients with earl...
متن کاملMethylene Blue Dye-Induced Skin Necrosis in Immediate Breast Reconstruction: Evaluation and Management
BACKGROUND For early breast cancer patients, skin-sparing mastectomy or nipple-sparing mastectomy with sentinel lymph node biopsy has become the mainstream treatment for immediate breast reconstruction in possible cases. However, a few cases of skin necrosis caused by methylene blue dye (MBD) used for sentinel lymph node localization have been reported. METHODS Immediate breast reconstruction...
متن کاملSpinal cord necrosis after intrathecal injection of methylene blue.
A 59 year old man had 6 ml of unbuffered methylene blue injected into the lumbar theca in an attempt to localise the source of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea. After injection of the dye he became shocked, and within the next few days he developed a mild paraparesis which subsequently progressed to a total paraplegia. The distribution of the spinal cord damage found at necropsy, eight and a hal...
متن کاملMethylene blue dye, an accurate dye for sentinel lymph node identification in early breast cancer.
PURPOSE The aim of this prospective study was to analyze the safety of methylene blue dye (MBD) and compare its efficacy with that of isotopic mapping for sentinel lymph node (SLN) identification in breast cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS The SLN procedure, involving isotopic mapping and MBD (subareolar intraparenchymal injections of 2 mL, 10 mg/mL), was performed on 100 patients with early breas...
