Popis: Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is used to access the axillary region for the presence of metastasis in breast cancer. SLN mapping is better accomplished by using a dual - modality tracing that includes a radioisotope and a blue dye. Although patent blue dye reaches high lymph node detection, it can be associated with allergic reactions. We describe a rare case of a blue urticaria that followed the injection of patent blue dye for SLN biopsy in a woman with breast cancer.
