Pelvic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography-computed tomography showed a small ulcerative enhancing lesion confined to the left vulva without distant metastasis. The patient was scheduled for radical vulvectomy with a left inguinal SLN biopsy. Indocyanine green was injected directly into the vulvar mass to map lymphatic drainage. A 4-cm-sized linear incision was made on the left inguinal crease, and the lymphatic channelsObstetrics & gynecology science223-225https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC8942746biostudies-literatureIndocyanine green fluorescent image-guided inguinal sentinel lymph node biopsy in vulvar cancer.PMC8942746Kim SKim SWKwak YHNam EJKim YTLee YJLee JYfalseIndocyanine green fluorescent image-guided inguinal sentinel lymph node biopsy in vulvar cancer.<h4>Objective</h4>To demonstrate near-infrared fluorescence image-guided inguinal sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy in patients with vulvar cancer.<h4>Methods</h4>A 40-year-old woman with a 3-cm-sized palpable left vulvar mass was diagnosed with vulvar cancer on biopsy with protrusion into the vaginal cavity.
