“…26,27 The evidence for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SNLB) to identify metastatic disease is unclear. 21 A 2017 meta-analysis found 31% of patients presenting with metastatic disease, with regional lymph nodes (58%) being the most common site of metastasis, followed by the lungs (13%). 14 A 2014 study showed that a scattered pattern of the dermal invasive component and tumour thickness > 10 mm were associated with metastases.…”

“…Information on the rate of positive SLNs in EPC is scarce and not readily combinable. In different case series, the SLN positivity rate ranged from 0% to 50%, but the number of patients in these articles ranged from 2 to 8 (13,(16)(17)(18)26). Goyal et al (8) retrieved information of SLN status for 229 patients.…”

“…On the other hand, the role of sentinel lymph node sampling (SLNS), which has become a standard procedure in thick malignant melanomas, remains unclear for porocarcinoma. Because of the relatively high rates of lymphatic metastases with porocarcinoma, some authors propose that SLNS should be standardized in the first-line management for optimal staging and decisions on appropriate adjuvant treatments [15,16]. However, when a micrometastasis is detected in the sentinel lymph nodes the second step in treatment is not clear.…”
