| Abstract | ||||
| Background: After a long history of axillary lymph node dissection surgeries, the current guidelines became more supportive for the use of axillary sentinel node (SN) biopsy technique in a variety of situations. The use of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence has recently gained momentum, because it is a viable and safe method for the axillary sentinel node detection during breast cancer surgeries. In the presented case of this case report, the indocyanine green dye was used as a tracer during a sentinel node biopsy, for the first time in Ain Shams University Hospitals. The surgery was done for a thirty-eight-year-old female diagnosed with early breast cancer. Conclusion: The indocyanine green fluorescence-guided axillary sentinel node biopsy in breast cancer is a feasible, easy, and safe technique. | ||||
