Bone marrow and cervical lymph nodes metastases as prodromal manifestations of malignant melanoma in a child
Malignant melanoma in children is rare. It can arise from congenital melanocytic nevi. In pediatric patients, diagnosis of melanoma is difficult and challenging because the physicians have a low index of suspicion. Marrow metastasis in malignant melanoma especially in children is extremely uncommon. Here, the authors reported a 5 year old girl who was presented with a 4 month history of pelvic ...
متن کاملPathology of sentinel lymph nodes for melanoma.
As a concept sentinel lymph node biopsy seems attractive in that it attempts to identify the first lymph node, rather than the nearest node, draining a particular anatomic area where a tumour has arisen. Pathological assessment can then indicate whether metastases are present and the procedure is either a strong prognostic indicator or possibly therapeutic in itself. These comments apply to any...
متن کاملSentinel lymph node biopsy correctly predicts regional lymph node recurrence in trunk malignant melanoma with multiple drainage basins
We report a young male with an initial excisional biopsy report of melanoma of the lower back, referred to our hospital for complete excision and sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy. Four peritumoral intradermal Tc-99m phytate injection was performed and SLNs were detected in both axillary and right inguinal regions. On the biopsy only the right axillary SLN was metastatic leading to right axilla...
متن کاملHistopathological patterns of melanoma metastases in sentinel lymph nodes.
AIMS Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is an important component in the staging and treatment of cutaneous melanoma (CM). The medical literature provides only limited information regarding melanoma sentinel lymph node (SLN) histology. This report details the specific histological patterns of melanoma metastases in sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) and highlights some key factors in evaluating SLNs fo...
متن کامل[In-transit sentinel lymph nodes in malignant melanoma. What is their importance?].
UNLABELLED The sentinel lymph node (SLN) is the first node in a lymph node basin to receive direct drainage from the primary tumour. However, in some cases, lymphoscintigraphy images demonstrate the presence of lymph nodes located in the area between the primary tumour and the first regional lymph node basin. These nodes are called in-transit nodes and have to be considered SLNs as well. AIM ...
