Abstract
We examined the location of sentinel lymph nodes in melanoma (5 cases), squamous cell carcinoma (2 cases) and extramammary Paget's disease (1 case) by using the single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) combined system. For realizing the anatomical location of sentinel lymph nodes before operating, we could easily and quickly detect sentinel lymph nodes (100%). Therefore the fusion of SPECT and CT images is especially useful for the detection of sentinel lymph nodes.[Skin Cancer (Japan) 2009 ; 24 : 221-224]
