Minimally invasive sentinel node biopsy is associated with significantly less morbidity and has been evaluated in several studies in patients with gynecologic malignancies. Accurate identification of the sentinel lymph nodes is possible in most of the patients. Hybrid SPECT/CT is a newer modality which has been shown to improve the localization of the suspicious lesions and also provide anatomical information of the involved lymph nodes. We report the utility of hybrid SPECT/CT in localization of sentinel lymph node in a case of vulvar cancer and its impact on patient management.

微创前哨淋巴结活检的发病率显著较低,并且已在多项针对妇科恶性肿瘤患者的研究中进行了评估。在大多数患者中能够准确识别前哨淋巴结。混合SPECT/CT是一种较新的检查方式,已证明其可改善可疑病变的定位,并提供受累淋巴结的解剖信息。我们报告了混合SPECT/CT在外阴癌病例中前哨淋巴结定位的应用及其对患者管理的影响。
