Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is associated with a more aggressive biological behaviour in the presence of risk factors. High risk SCC may present with lymph node metastasis in 21% of patients, with the consequent reduction in overall survival. The physical examination lymph nodes can have a false-negative rate between 15% and 39%, thus requiring the need to find a new diagnostic tool that allows a more precise evaluation of lymph node involvement.
Sentinel lymph node biopsy has been reported in case series of patients with head and neck SCC, and genital SCC, but there are few case reports about skin SCC of the trunk and extremities.
The aim of this review is to describe the indications and feasibility of using sentinel lymph node biopsy to assess lymph node status in patients with skin SCC of trunk and limbs.
