AB  - BACKGROUND: Lower limb or trunk melanoma often presents with femoral and pelvic sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). The benefits of harvesting pelvic lymph nodes remain controversial. In this retrospective study, the frequency and predictors of pelvic SLNs (PSLNs), and the impact of PSLNs on survival and staging was investigated. METHODS: Altogether 285 patients with cutaneous melanoma located in the lower limb or trunk underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy of the inguinal/iliac lymph node basin at Hels...
