To investigate the value of sentinel lymph node of papillary thyroid carcinoma exploring and measuring in the metastasis of the cervical lymph node of thyroid carcinoma.
The sentinel lymph node were investigated by injecting the methylene blue around 25 cases of thyroid tumors. The lymph nodes dyed in blue and obtained from selective lymph node dissection were examined by pathology, respectively. The value of the sentinel lymph nod were evaluated.
The sentinel lymph nodes dyed in blue were identified in 22 cases which account for 88.0% of all the 25 cases. Nineteen cases of the sentinel lymph node were positive by pathology, of whom 13 cases were verified positive in other area. Six cases were negative.
It is of great value that sentinel lymph node of thyroid carcinoma can indicate the metastasis of the cervical lymph node of thyroid carcinoma.
探讨甲状腺乳头状癌前哨淋巴结探测及检测在甲状腺癌颈部淋巴结转移中的价值。
对25例甲状腺肿瘤患者在其周围注射亚甲蓝以探测前哨淋巴结。分别对染成蓝色的淋巴结及选择性淋巴结清扫获取的淋巴结进行病理检查,评估前哨淋巴结的价值。
25例患者中,22例(占88.0%)发现染成蓝色的前哨淋巴结。19例前哨淋巴结病理检查呈阳性,其中13例在其他区域被证实为阳性,6例为阴性。
甲状腺癌前哨淋巴结对提示甲状腺癌颈部淋巴结转移具有重要价值。
