Abstract

The aim was to demonstrate that the technique of near infrared range/indocyanine green (NIR/ICG) could aid the detection of inguinal sentinel lymph nodes in patients with vulvar cancer, in addition to technetium-99m (Tc-99m) scanning. We present a case report of sentinel lymph node detection in a patient with vulvar cancer with two methods: Tc-99m scan and NIR/ICG. The video showed that bilateral inguinal lymph nodes were detected both by Tc gamma probe and NIR/ICG. NIR/ICG may be a safe and effective alternative method for identifying sentinel lymph nodes in cases of early-stage vulvar cancer, although more evidence is required.

靛氰绿荧光成像：发现一例外阴癌患者腹股沟前哨淋巴结的有效方法。

我们的目的是证明，除了锝-99m（Tc-99m）扫描外，近红外/吲哚青绿（NIR/ICG）技术还能帮助检测外阴癌患者的腹股沟前哨淋巴结。我们报告了一例采用两种方法检测外阴癌患者前哨淋巴结的病例：Tc-99m 扫描和近红外/ICG。视频显示，锝伽马探针和近红外/ICG均能检测到双侧腹股沟淋巴结。近红外/ICG可能是确定早期外阴癌前哨淋巴结的一种安全有效的替代方法，但还需要更多的证据。
