Drainage Patterns to Nontraditional Nodal Regions and Level IIB in Cutaneous Head and Neck Malignancy

Conclusions Nontraditional SLN locations, such as EJ, perifacial, suboccipital, postauricular, and parotid, as well as level IIB, are important sites of drainage for head and neck cutaneous malignancy. Prediction of at-risk lymph node regions is important to help guide SLNBs, elective and completion neck lymphadenectomy and radiation, and long-term observation.
