Drainage lymphatique des territoires cutanés de la tête et du cou : approche in vivo par la localisation du ganglion sentinelle

One hundred and thirty-seven patients were included in the study. The parotid gland is a privileged territory of drainage of the head and neck skin. At cervical level, the submental region drains the lower and median part of the face (lips and chin). The posterior segments (IIb and V sector) were represented for the posterior locations of the head (ear, vertex), and cervical region.
