Abstract
Benign glandular inclusions are rare events. Their presence in the intraoperative evaluation of the sentinel lymph node in breast carcinoma surgery can result in diagnostic error and lead to an unnecessary axillary lymph node dissection with an increased risk of associated morbidity.We report the case of a woman with breast carcinoma. During surgery, evaluation of the sentinel node led to a false-positive diagnosis of metastasis. We discuss the diagnostic problem illustrated by this case, as well as the importance of avoiding overtreatment.
