Abstract
19 consecutive patients underwent a posterolateral neck dissection (PL ND) in continuity with a wide excision of the primary melanoma on the posterior scalp. After a mean follow-up of 74 months, 5 patients are a live with minimal morbidity. PLND can safely be performed, even bilate rally, as an elective or therapeutic procedure in posterior scalp mela noma.
