Abstract
In women affected by cervical cancer with skin tattoos located in the lower limbs, the pelvic lymph nodes can be partially or totally occupied by the ink. This must be taken into consideration, especially for women scheduled exclusively for sentinel node biopsy. Infectious complications related to nodal dissection, in particular infected lymphoceles, may be more frequent in this population.
