“…2 In a recent study by Marrazzo et al, no axillary recurrence was observed in breast cancer patients with history of EB in a median follow up time of 63.5 month, which is also in accordance to the Sabaté-Llobera et al study. Based on the systematic review of Javan et al, sentinel lymph node mapping of breast cancer patients with the previous history EB was associated with considerably high pooled detection rate of 91.3% [95% CI: 89.2-93.1%], which was similar to patients without previous EB (92.8%) [95% CI: 91.1-94.3%].…”

“…However, our case had a previous history of excisional biopsy of the ectopic breast tissue with a scar in the axilla. Although sentinel node mapping is not contra-indicated in case of excisional biopsy of the primary breast cancer lesions [7][8][9][10][11], a history of previous surgery in the axilla is considered as a contra-indication for sentinel node mapping by many experts. They argue that previous axillary surgery can impede the lymph flow to the axilla with a resulting unacceptable…”

We reported a 24-year-old female patient with the history of ectopic axillary breast cancer which was removed surgically. Sentinel node mapping was performed for lymphatic axillary staging of this patient with two injections of the 99m-Tc-phytate in both ends of the surgical scar. Lymphoscintigraphy showed an axillary sentinel node which was harvested during surgery and was not pathologically involved. Our case showed that sentinel node mapping is possible for ectopic axillary breast cancer patients even after excisional biopsy of the index lesion.

“…This concept has been challenged and at the present time, SLNB is being carried out for patients who even had excisional biopsy for the index tumor. 38 - 40 The number of documented cases of DCIS in KSA is low, may be one of the reasons is the absence of a national screening program for BC and the fact SCR does not register premalignant conditions. In this series, we performed SLNB in patients diagnosed to have DCIS and were high risk, or going for mastectomy or had a palpable disease.…”

Objectives:To report our experience in sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in early breast cancer.Methods:This is a retrospective study conducted at King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia between January 2005 and December 2014. There were 120 patients who underwent SLNB with frozen section examination. Data collected included the characteristics of patients, index tumor, and sentinel node (SN), SLNB results, axillary recurrence rate and SLNB morbidity.Results:There were 120 patients who had 123 cancers. Sentinel node was identified in 117 patients having 120 tumors (97.6% success rate). No SN was found intraoperatively in 3 patients. Frozen section results showed that 95 patients were SN negative, those patients had no immediate axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), whereas 25 patients were SN positive and subsequently had immediate ALND. Upon further examination of the 95 negative SN’s by hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) and immunohistochemical staining for doubtful H&E cases, 10 turned out to have micrometastases (6 had delayed ALND and 4 had no further axillary surgery). Median follow up of patients was 35.5 months and the mean was 38.8 months. There was one axillary recurrence observed in the SN negative group. The morbidity of SLNB was minimal.Conclusion:The obtainable results from our local experience in SLNB in breast cancer, concur with that seen in published similar literature in particular the axillary failure rate. Sentinel lymph node biopsy resulted in minimal morbidity.
