For decades, patent blue dye (PBV) has been utilized for sentinel lymph node biopsy and lymphatic mapping in breast cancer and melanoma staging and treatment. Fistulography and intraoperative display of lymphatic vessels for lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) are frequent applications. Although its anaphylactic potential is well described, PBV is used routinely. We present the case of a 71-year-old female patient, who underwent LVA for the treatment of chronic secondary lymphedema and experienced a postoperative anaphylactic reaction including a blue-colored drug-induced maculopapular exanthema after PBV administration. This article aims to raise awareness of potential life-threatening allergic reactions and propose an alternative to PBV.
几十年来,专利蓝染料(PBV)一直用于乳腺癌和黑色素瘤分期及治疗中的前哨淋巴结活检和淋巴管造影。瘘管造影以及用于淋巴静脉吻合术(LVA)的淋巴管术中显示是其常见应用。尽管PBV的过敏潜力已得到充分描述,但仍被常规使用。我们报告了一例71岁女性患者的病例,该患者接受LVA治疗慢性继发性淋巴水肿,在注射PBV后出现术后过敏反应,包括药物性蓝色斑丘疹。本文旨在提高对潜在危及生命的过敏反应的认识,并提出PBV的替代方案。
