Abstract
Introduction: Many studies show that the lymphatic drainage pattern of patients is variable. Some patients have drainage to unconventional nodal basins. Interval nodes are lymph nodes which exist between primary melanomas and regional nodal basins and occur only in a small number of patients. It is known that interval nodes can be the only positive sentinel lymph node (SLN) in melanoma patients. This study aims to investigate the prognostic value of interval nodes in melanoma patients.
