title: [Lymph drainage routes and variability in preoperative efferent lymph flow scintigraphy in malignant melanoma of the trunk].
abstract: Malignant melanoma of the skin has become a real problem due to the increasing number of cases. No other tumor is induced by long term UV-radiation of the skin. Excision of the primary tumor is the treatment of choice in this disease. Before excision of the tumor lymphoscintigraphy is the first choice in diagnosis to demonstrate the draining lymph vessels and lymph node groups of an malignant melanoma for later operation. This work current the status quo of lymphoscintigraphy in malignant melanoma of the trunk.
