Abstract

Lymphoscintigraphy in breast cancer usually shows lymphatic drainage to the ipsilateral axilla. Drainage to extraaxillary or contralateral axillary regions is rare and there is still controversy about its management. Due to the significant clinical impact of an accurate staging, a literature research is made based on a case of a patient with recurrence of left breast cancer with contralateral axillary sentinel lymph node detection, without evidence of lymphatic drainage to other locations.

Keywords:
Breast cancer
Lymphoscintigraphy
Sentinel node
Contralateral
Extraaxillary drainage
Resumen

En el cáncer de mama la linfogammagrafía muestra generalmente drenaje linfático hacia axila ipsilateral. De manera infrecuente, se observa drenaje hacia regiones extraaxilares o axilar contralateral, y su manejo aún genera controversias. Dado el impacto clínico que supone una correcta estadificación, se realiza una revisión bibliográfica a raíz del caso de una paciente con recidiva de cáncer de mama izquierda con detección de ganglio centinela axilar contralateral, sin evidencia de drenaje linfático hacia otras localizaciones.
