ABSTRACT

Damos a conocer el hallazgo de una adenopatía axilar pigmentada durante la realización de una mastectomía bilateral profiláctica en una paciente de 35 años. El estudio anatomopatológico reveló pigmento compatible con tinta en el interior del ganglio. Esto, junto con la presencia de un tatuaje próximo a la axila de la paciente, permitió identificar el tatuaje como causa de la coloración de la adenopatía. Discutimos el diagnóstico diferencial a realizar en casos similares. Hasta un tercio de la población joven en España se ha realizado algún tatuaje, y las series de autopsias muestran la alta incidencia de presencia de pigmento en ganglios próximos a esos tatuajes. Creemos necesario realizar un correcto diagnóstico diferencial con melanoma y otras etiologías en pacientes tatuados para llevar a cabo una adecuada indicación quirúrgica (AU)


We report the finding of an axillary pigmented adenopathy during a bilateral profilactic mastectomy in a 35- year-old patient. The anatomopathologycal analysis revealed pigmentation compatible with ink inside the lymphatic node. The presence of a tattoo close to the axillary region of the patient made us identify the tattoo as the cause of the adenopathy coloration. We discuss the differential diagnosis to be considered in this cases. Around one third of the spanish population wears a tattoo, and series of autopsies show an elevated incidence of the presence of pigment in nodes adjacent to tattoos. The correct differential diagnosis with melanoma and other etiologies in tattooed patients is necessary to establish an adequate surgical indication (AU)
