title: Xeroradiography of radical vulvectomy specimens. Identification of groin lymph nodes.
abstract: Twelve surgical specimens from radical vulvectomy and bilateral groin dissection were examined by xeroradiography to identify lymph nodes. Eight of the specimens were handled in a routine fashion, and four were chemically cleared. The xeroradiograph was not helpful in identifying small lymph nodes in the specimen, nor could any xeroradiographic characteristics specific for tumor-involved lymph nodes be identified.
