Hidden Sentinel Node in Cutaneous Melanoma
functional and aesthetic results [3]. In case of more extensive defects involving both scrotal and perineal skin loss, we favor split thickness skin grafts for defect coverage. As noted by Huettinger et al. [1], graft fixation remains a challenge. We have developed a VAC fixation technique, the so-called “sandwich technique” [4], that we have used successfully for many years now. We feel that i...
متن کاملSentinel-lymph-node biopsy for cutaneous melanoma.
Results: Positive SLNs were detected in 39 (15%) of 260 cases, including 0 (0%) of 45 for cutaneous melanomas 1.0 mm thick or less (T1), 21 (18%) of 115 for melanomas 1.01 to 2.0 mm thick (T2), 12 (19%) of 64 for melanomas 2.01 to 4.0 mm thick (T3), and 5 (16%) of 32 for melanomas thicker than 4.0 mm (T4). Median Breslow depths were 1.89 mm for SLN-positive biopsy specimens and 1.50 mm for SLN-...
متن کاملSentinel Node Biopsy as a Prognostic Factor in Cutaneous Melanoma
Background: The aim of sentinel node biopsy (SNB) is to identify subclinical lymph node metastases using a procedure with minimal morbidity, establish more accurate staging in patients with melanoma, determine prognosis, and choose the most suitable treatment in each patient. Objectives: To analyze the outcomes of SNB in patients with cutaneous melanoma, and the impact of this procedure on surv...
متن کاملRadioguided sentinel lymph node biopsy in malignant cutaneous melanoma.
The procedure of sentinel lymph node biopsy in patients with malignant cutaneous melanoma has evolved from the notion that the tumor drains in a logical way through the lymphatic system, from the first to subsequent levels. As a consequence, the first lymph node encountered (the sentinel node) will most likely be the first affected by metastasis; therefore, a negative sentinel node makes it hig...
