RESUMO
The authors report about a new "lymphatic-mapping" method (by means of patent blue staining) by which it is able to detect regional (sentinel) lymph node, into which the first metastasis is occurred. Experiences were made known with 15 patients. The by "lymphatic mapping" detected and removed sentinel lymph node has an, important role not only in determination of staging, but also in indication of prophylactic block-dissection, too.

The authors present the case of a thirty-six-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus with specific vesiculobullous symptoms. Degos dermal infarcts and Schönlein-Henoch-type purpura was observed in the course of her illness. Attention is drawn to the rarity of this symptom group, which has not been documented in previous publications. Degos lesions accompanying the systemic lupus erythematosus were benign. The effectiveness of sulfone in the treatment of vesiculobullous symptoms in this case is noted.
