“…Lymphoscintigraphy allows accurate assessment of both superficial and internal lymph nodes 4–10 and is the method of choice for identification and evaluation of sentinel lymph nodes in women with breast cancer 8–12 . When the sentinel node biopsy is positive for metastasis, other regional lymph nodes are also presumed to be positive, and more aggressive lymph node excision following radiation therapy is indicated 8,12,13 .…”

“…1 Lymphoscintigrapy was first used in humans to identify the sentinel lymph node, the first node to receive lymph from the tumor, in men with penile cancer. 2, 3 Lymphoscintigraphy allows accurate assessment of both superficial and internal lymph nodes [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] and is the method of choice for identification and evaluation of sentinel lymph nodes in women with breast cancer.

Lymphoscintigraphy is the technique of choice for sentinel lymph node detection in women with early breast cancer, but there is limited information evaluating the value of this technique in animals. We investigated mammary lymphatic drainage in 25 young female mongrel dogs by intramammary injection of 18.5 MBq of 99mTc-dextran (70,000 Da). Lymph node anatomical referencing was obtained using an external marker, bone scintigraphy, or scintiscanning the body contour. Cranial and caudal thoracic mammary glands drained into the cranial sternal lymph node and axillary lymph center. The cranial thoracic mammary gland also drained into the superficial cervical lymph node in two of five animals. The cranial abdominal gland was drained by the axillary lymph center. The caudal abdominal mammary gland was drained by the superficial inguinal lymph node in all animals and simultaneously by medial iliac lymph nodes in four of five animals. In one dog, this mammary gland was also drained by the mediastinal and the superficial cervical lymph nodes. The inguinal mammary gland was drained by superficial inguinal lymph nodes and simultaneously via the medial iliac lymph node in one animal. Lymphatic communications between lymph nodes were identified in 11 of 25 (44%) animals. 99mTc-dextran mammary lymphoscintigraphy was easy and rapid to perform and may provide valuable information for further studies.

“…A identificação linfocintilográfica do linfonodo sentinela foi inicialmente realizada em pacientes humanos com neoplasia peniana (CABANAS, 1977), sendo posteriormente utilizada para localização e tratamento radioterápico de linfonodos mamários internos dos pacientes humanos com neoplasia mamária (HUNT et al, 1987). Turoglu et al (1992) realizaram a linfocintilografia mamária bilateral de 40 mulheres com formações neoplásicas mamárias de mais de 5 cm de diâmetro, metástases ósseas confirmadas pela cintilografia óssea e outros fatores que predispõem às metástases para linfonodos mamários internos.…”
