Nomenclature and Lymphatic Drainage Patterns of Abdominal Lymph Nodes
The lymphatic system provides a route for the spread of inflammation and malignancies. The identification of nodal stations and lymphatic pathways of tumor spread is important for tumor staging, choice of therapy, and the prediction of the prognosis of patients with malignant diseases.

| description | The lymphatic system provides a route for the spread of inflammation and malignancies. The
identification of nodal stations and lymphatic pathways of tumor spread is important for tumor
staging, choice of therapy, and the prediction of the prognosis of patients with malignant diseases.
Because lymph node metastasis is common in primary intra-abdominal malignant tumors,
its detection is essential for radiologists to understand the pattern of disease spread. Using
schematic pictures and color-coded CT images, this pictorial essay describes the locations
and nomenclature of the abdominal lymph nodes. Furthermore, the lymphatic drainage pathways
of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tracts, liver, gallbladder, bile duct, and pancreas
have been highlighted. In addition, lymph nodes belonging to the regional lymph nodes in malignant
tumors arising from each organ are described, and certain cases are presented with images
from patients. |
