Prepubic sentinel node location in penile carcinoma.
An unusual sentinel node location in a patient with penile carcinoma is described. The preoperative lymphoscintigram showed a prepubic sentinel node. The node could be harvested during surgery. This case illustrates one of the advantages of lymphatic mapping in penile carcinoma: preoperative lymphoscintigraphy can identify lymph nodes outside the usual nodal basins.
