    Main Results:

    • Interstitial lymphoscintigraphy demonstrates high sensitivity in diagnostic assessments.
    • However, the technique exhibits low specificity, requiring cautious interpretation.

    Conclusions:

    • Interstitial lymphoscintigraphy is an effective method for tumor staging and follow-up.
    • It is also beneficial for diagnosing the causes of limb edema.
    • Careful interpretation is crucial due to its high sensitivity and low specificity.
