The sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a diagnostic or staging option in the treatment of patients with cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) and is investigated intensively. A positive SLNB has appeared to identify patients who might have benefited from a lymph node dissection (LND). Intraoperative frozen section analysis (FSA) of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) during surgery would allow SLNB and LND to be performed in the same procedure. In the current study, we tested the reliability of FSA on the sentinel lymph node in patients with CMM.
