UNUSUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE TO CONTRALATERAL ROTTER'S LYMPH NODES IN BREAST CANCER: A SPECT/TC LYMPHOSCINTIGRAPHY CASE STUDY
Lymphatic drainage of the breast occurs mainly in ipsilateral axillary nodes, but up to 20–30% of cases may present drainage to other locations, although it is usually coupled to ipsilateral axillary nodes.
