Sentinel lymph node biopsy to exclude lymphatic spread in placental site trophoblastic tumour (original) (raw)

This case report presents a 27-year-old woman diagnosed with placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) who underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy to assess potential lymphatic spread. Despite preoperative PET/CT suggesting lymph node involvement, the biopsy revealed no metastasis, emphasizing the biopsy's role in treatment planning. The findings suggest incorporating sentinel lymph node biopsy into standard surgical treatment for PSTT, highlighting its potential to reduce unnecessary lymphadenectomy and improve management based on accurate lymph node staging.
