A positive intramammary lymph node in a patient with breast cancer is not such an exceptional finding, but it does provoke discussion whether there is the real necessity of axilla exenteration in a negative axillary sentinel node. A positive intramammary node is rare in malignant melanoma, particularly if the node is not marked as a sentinel node in the preoperative lymphoscintigraphy. Here we present a case history of a woman with a synchronous carcinoma – malignant melanoma under her right ribs and also with carcinoma in her right breast. Simultaneously, metastases from both the melanoma and the carcinoma occur in her intramammary node.

Keywords: sentinel lymph node, intramammary sentinel lymph node, malignant melanoma, breast cancer
