BACKGROUND: The @entity1600 has been used in several @entity5 . The aim of this study was to analyze the accuracy of the sentinel node in @entity3557 . METHODS: A series of 22 @entity1 with @entity3557 were included. Approximately 0.5 cc of @entity12670 dye was injected at operation to trace the sentinel node. Lymph node dissection of the ipsilateral central compartment and extensive sampling of the jugular compartment were performed in addition to sentinel node resection. Surgical specimens were stained with @entity1710 - @entity1711 , and negative sentinel nodes were subsequently stained with immunohistochemistry for @entity5822 . RESULTS: Mean age was 37 +/- 14 years. Twenty @entity1 were @entity1 , and 2 were @entity1 . Mean @entity5 size was 2.5 +/- 1 cm. A @entity1600 was found in 20 @entity1 . With use of @entity1710 - @entity1711 , @entity3 were identified in 12/20 sentinel nodes (60%). Eleven @entity1 with positive sentinel nodes presented additional lymph node @entity3 : 9 in the central compartment, 1 in the jugular compartment, and 1 in both compartments. Two @entity1 with negative sentinel nodes had lymph node @entity3 elsewhere. When sentinel nodes were processed by immunohistochemistry, accuracy increased to 100%. CONCLUSIONS: Sentinel node is highly accurate for diagnosing @entity3 in @entity3557 .
