Area of Science:

Oncology
Surgical Pathology
Medical Imaging and Diagnostics

Background:

Early-stage breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Axillary lymph node staging in breast cancer.
The role of sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer management.

Observation:

A 47-year-old woman diagnosed with T1N0 left breast cancer.
Histopathological examination revealed pigmentation in a non-sentinel axillary lymph node.
The pigmentation was identified as being caused by a decorative arm tattoo.

Findings:

The presence of tattoo pigment in an axillary lymph node can mimic metastatic disease.
This finding highlights a potential diagnostic challenge in breast cancer staging.
The case introduces the concept of Axillary Reverse Mapping (ARM).

Implications:

Axillary Reverse Mapping (ARM) may improve the accuracy of axillary staging.
ARM can help differentiate tattoo pigment from metastatic cancer in lymph nodes.
This technique could refine surgical planning and reduce false-positive diagnoses in breast cancer patients.
