Needle biopsy is a rapid, reliable, and reproducible procedure for histological confirmation of metastatic melanoma localization. Nonetheless, this procedure presents a theoretical risk of a mechanical weakening of the lymph node capsule with perinodal tumor seeding. The objective of the study was to evaluate the incidence of extracapsular extension after needle biopsy in comparison with surgical adenectomy in patients suspected of metastatic lymph node of melanoma.
