2021, Brazilian Journal of OtorhinolaryngologyCitation Excerpt :The sentinel lymph node biopsy, developed by Morton in the early 1990s, became the gold standard for the staging of cutaneous melanomas, aiming to select cases for lymphadenectomy.4,5 There are peculiarities regarding the screening for sentinel lymph nodes in the head and neck region: experience shows that the use of a lesser amount of patent blue is desirable, in order to avoid tattooing by the dye6; it is not always possible to enlarge the most adequate margin in places such as the nose and periorbital region7; moreover, some authors describe a lower frequency of micro-metastases in sentinel lymph nodes for the cervicofacial region, when compared to melanomas draining to the axillary and inguinal regions.8–10 Technological advances have increased the accuracy of the results and improved the techniques used in the cervicofacial region, especially the fusion of lymphoscintigraphy and computed tomography imaging (SPECT-CT), and even minimizing the percentage of false-negative results in the sample.10
