ABSTRACT
A 9-year-old girl presented with a 3-year history of a right breast mass. Excisional biopsy showed a secretory carcinoma. A treatment plan of simple mastectomy and axillary sentinel lymph node biopsy was chosen. She remains free of disease at 3-year follow-up. Sentinel lymph node biopsy offers an approach to stage the axillary lymphatic basin with a lower complication rate than formal dissection. The authors advocate its use in the treatment of pediatric breast cancer.
