  • Locoregional spread of cutaneous melanoma: sonography findings.
    AJR. American journal of roentgenology, 2010
    Co-Authors: Orlando Catalano, Corrado Caracò, Nicola Mozzillo, Alfredo Siani
    Abstract:

    This article reviews various aspects of locoregional spread of malignant cutaneous melanoma, as imaged with gray-scale sonography and Doppler techniques. The scenarios illustrated include disease staging (primary melanoma, Satellite Metastasis, in-transit Metastasis, and lymphadenopathies), sentinel lymph node biopsy procedure, patient follow-up, recurrence detection, cutaneous Metastasis, and sonographically guided intervention. High-resolution sonography allows recognition of small, clinically-occult melanomatous foci. It plays a major role in locoregional staging and follow-up of patients with cutaneous melanoma.

  • Cutaneous melanoma: role of ultrasound in the assessment of locoregional spread.
    Current problems in diagnostic radiology, 2010
    Co-Authors: Orlando Catalano, Alfredo Siani
    Abstract:

    This article illustrates the various aspects of locoregional spread of cutaneous melanoma, as imaged with grayscale ultrasound (US) and Doppler techniques. High-resolution US allows recognition of small, clinically occult melanomatous foci within the skin and lymph nodes. Consequently, it plays a major role in locoregional staging and follow-up of patients with cutaneous melanoma. We discuss the possibilities and limitations of US in the initial staging (primary melanoma, Satellite Metastasis, in-transit Metastasis, and lymphadenopathy), selection for sentinel lymph node biopsy procedure, patient follow-up, detection of recurrence, and US-guided intervention.

  • Reevaluation of the Locoregional Recurrence Rate in Melanoma Patients With a Positive Sentinel Node Compared to Patients With Palpable Nodal Involvement
    Annals of Surgical Oncology, 2010

    Abstract:

    Background The main aims of this study were to evaluate the occurrence of the various forms of locoregional recurrence in sentinel node–positive melanoma patients, to determine whether the different definitions that are being used to describe in-transit metastases influence this rate, and to identify factors associated with locoregional recurrence. A comparison was made with the rate of locoregional recurrence in patients who underwent lymph node dissection for palpable metastases. Methods Between December 1993 and December 2008, a total of 141 patients underwent completion lymph node dissection because of a tumor-positive sentinel node. In the same period, 178 patients underwent a regional lymph node dissection for palpable nodal metastases. Results In the sentinel node–positive patients, the local recurrence rate was 5%, the rate of Satellite Metastasis was 2%, and for in-transit Metastasis, it was 15%. In patients with palpable nodal involvement, these values were 3%, 2%, and 14%, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in locoregional recurrence-free rates between these two groups of node-positive patients ( P  = .172). Breslow thickness was the only predictive factor for locoregional recurrence ( P  = .015). Conclusions The rate of locoregional metastases in patients with a tumor-positive sentinel node and patients with palpable nodal involvement is similar. The present study refutes the suggestion that a positive sentinel node indicates a predisposition for developing in-transit metastases.
