Abstract

Although the in-transit lymph node is a well-known issue in malignant melanoma, it is not documented sufficiently in breast cancer. In this case report an in-transit lymph node demonstrated by both PET/CT and sentinel lymph node mapping and diagnosed by pathology is reported.

Keywords: breast; in transit; pet; scintigraphy.; sentinel.
