Sentinel lymph node biopsy is a common procedure for breast carcinoma and melanoma. This review details histopathologic management, focusing on intraoperative consultation and presenting a protocol for optimal specimen handling.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a standard procedure for staging breast carcinoma and malignant melanoma.
  • Current histopathologic management of SLNB specimens lacks standardization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the history and technical details of SLNB.
  • To present a protocol for optimal histopathologic management of SLNB specimens.
  • To emphasize the importance of intraoperative consultation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on SLNB.
  • Description of histopathologic work-up procedures.
  • Presentation of a proposed management protocol.

Main Results:

  • SLNB is frequently performed for breast cancer and melanoma.

  • Histopathologic evaluation of SLNB requires careful standardization.
  • Intraoperative consultation is crucial for accurate staging.

    • Conclusions:

    • Standardized histopathologic protocols are needed for SLNB.
    • Optimal management involves detailed technical review and intraoperative assessment.
    • Adherence to a structured protocol can improve diagnostic accuracy.
