Unlabelled:
Minimally invasive sentinel node biopsy is associated with significantly less morbidity and has been evaluated in several studies in patients with gynecologic malignancies. Accurate identification of the sentinel lymph nodes is possible in most of the patients. Hybrid SPECT/CT is a newer modality which has been shown to improve the localization of the suspicious lesions and also provide anatomical information of the involved lymph nodes. We report the utility of hybrid SPECT/CT in localization of sentinel lymph node in a case of vulvar cancer and its impact on patient management.
