Scintigraphic documentation of lymph drainage of cutaneous tumours.
A method of lymphoscintigraphy is described which provides additional diagnostic information, of particular value prior to surgery for the removal of cutaneous tumours. The technique demonstrates the individual physiology of the lymphatic drainage system from a particular region of the skin. However, it is not the aim of the method to diagnose possible lymph node metastases.
