Özet
Prospectively, ultrasonographic examination of the interpectoral space was performed in 185 patients with clinical and/or mammographic evidence/suspicion of breast carcinoma. Of these, 86 patients treated by modified radical mastectomy were included in the study. Interpectoral lymph node metastases were found histopathologically in 12 (14%) of patients. Ultrasonographic examination of the interpectoral space revealed enlarged Rotter's node in 4 (4.6%) of patients, and 33.3% of patients with involved interpectoral nodes. Therefore, one-third of interpectoral node involvement could be detected ultrasonographically in this group. This sonographic study represents the first report on the interpectoral region with special attention to Rotter's node. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
