“…29 The utility of SLNB remains the subject of debate, however. 30 Theoretically, it could be a useful staging tool for MNH and might prove beneficial in determining optimal early treatment. It has been reported that distant metastatic disease is uniformly preceded by regional lymph gland metastases; once distant spread has occurred, the mortality rate for those afflicted with MNH is extremely high.…”

The authors have indicated no significant interest with commercial supporters.M alignant nodular hidradenoma (MNH) is a rare sweat gland carcinoma that has been reported under numerous synonyms: malignant acrospiroma, malignant clear cell acrospiroma, malignant clear cell myoepithelioma, malignant clear cell hidradenoma, clear cell hidradenocarcinoma, solid-cystic hidradenocarcinoma, and clear cell eccrine carcinoma. This tumor has a propensity for aggressive behavior; local recurrence and distant metastases occur in as many as 50% to 60% of patients. The 5-year postsurgical survival rate for MNH is reportedly less than 30%. 1 MNH tends to present as indistinct, occasionally ulcerated, erythematous to violaceous firm nodules, frequently with a history of recent growth. 2 Microscopically, the cellular features and tumor architecture do not correlate well with the clinical course and often contradict their aggressive behavior. Several histologic banal-appearing tumors, some initially interpreted as benign nodular hidradenoma, have been seen to later metastasize. [3][4][5]

“…Its role is also being explored for other superficial cancers that spread preferentially by lymphatics such as melanoma [2], squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck [3] and vulva [4]. The technique is also applicable to the staging of intracavitatory neoplasms such as lung [5] and colon [6] and in the correct clinical setting may be more accurate than any radiological staging technique including FDG-PET [7].…”

“…The controversy surrounding sentinel node biopsy in melanoma continues and was discussed previously in several Controversies in Dermatology articles, 12–14 and some recent publications question the survival benefit of sentinel node biopsy in melanoma 15,16 . In a study from Glasgow of 318 patients with primary melanoma > 1 mm in thickness who had sentinel node biopsies, 76% of the sentinel nodes were free from tumour.…”

The conference highlighted the progress made in understanding recent biological, epidemiological and therapeutic advances in dermatology. Here we provide a synopsis of the main research and clinical findings presented at the meeting of the British Association of Dermatologists (BAD) held during 5-8 July 2005, in Glasgow, U.K., drawing attention to the most important advances and summaries. The BAD meeting was held at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre, Glasgow (Fig. 1). The annual dinner was held in the wonderful setting of Stirling Castle, with Dr Robin Graham-Brown as host.
