The Impact of Intradermal Lymphoscintigraphy on Surgical Management of Clinical Stage I Truncal Malignant Melanoma

Lymphoscintigraphy results in 35 stage I melanoma patients were compared with primary location and surgical management. Six of 25 primaries with potentially multidirectional lymphatic drainage had drainage to one regional node group. Three of 10 with expected unidirectional drainage showed multidire...

Zusammenfassung:	Lymphoscintigraphy results in 35 stage I melanoma patients were compared with primary location and surgical management. Six of 25 primaries with potentially multidirectional lymphatic drainage had drainage to one regional node group. Three of 10 with expected unidirectional drainage showed multidirectional drainage. With unidirectional drainage, decision concerning lymphadenectomy was simplified.
