Relevance of multiple basin drainage and primary histologic regression in prognosis of trunk melanoma patients with negative sentinel lymph nodes.
BACKGROUND Lymphatic drainage to multiple basins (MLBD) is frequently observed in patients with primary melanoma located in the trunk. Conflicting data regarding the prognostic impact of MLBD are reported. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS We reviewed our case series of 352 patients with trunk melanoma to evaluate the pattern of basin drainage and to analyse whether different basin drainages may have dif...
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 کاملOutcome of patients with melanoma and histologically negative sentinel lymph nodes.
HYPOTHESIS Patients with melanoma and histologically negative sentinel lymph nodes identified by lymphatic mapping have a very good prognosis. DESIGN Cohort study with follow-up information obtained from medical records and telephone interviews. SETTING AND PATIENTS Of all patients with cutaneous melanoma who underwent intraoperative sentinel lymph node mapping between November 15, 1993, an...
متن کاملDetection of melanoma cells displaying multiple genomic changes in histopathologically negative sentinel lymph nodes.
PURPOSE Improved detection of early-disseminated melanoma cells may eventually translate into more effective patient care. We present a novel strategy for detection of melanoma cells in sentinel lymph nodes and confirm their malignant descent by genomic characterization. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN In sentinel lymph nodes from 358 melanoma patients, we prospectively compared the rates of tumor cell d...
