Abstract | OBJECTIVE: MATERIALS AND METHODS: RESULTS: A total of 106 SLN were identified in 49 patients (49/56). The detection rate of SLN was 87.5%. Sensitivity of the SLN was 90.91%, and specificity of the sentinel lymph nodes was 86.67%. Eleven patients (19.64%) were diagnosed with lymph node metastases and ten of them were in the group of SLN. Eight patients had positive SLN only. Two patients had both positive SLN and pelvic lymph nodes. None of the patients had positive pelvic lymph nodes and negative SLN. CONCLUSION:
