Sentinel lymph node in early stage ovarian cancer; a literature review [PDF]
Although sentinel lymph node mapping has been widely implemented in gynecological malignancies in order to minimize the number of unnecessary lymph node dissections and to diminish postoperative morbidity rate, little is known about ovarian cancer ...

Deflating the Lymph Node [PDF]
Although the lymph node lymphatic vessel growth and development is positively regulated by B cells and macrophages, Kataru et al. (2011), in this issue of Immunity, show negative regulation of lymphatic vessels by interferon-γ from T cells.

Lymph Node Reactivity. II. Fetal Lymph Nodes [PDF]
Abstract A study was made of the progressive development of structure and metalophilia of the axillary nodes obtained from fetuses of various weights. Metalophil cells were rare in fetuses weighing less than 1000 Gm., while the adult pattern of metalophilia was not observed until the fetus approached 2000 Gm.

Lymph node (LN) macrophages have long been known for their efficient uptake of lymph-borne antigens. A convergence of studies on innate and adaptive immune responses has led to exciting recent advances in understanding their more specialized properties: presenting antigens to B cells, dendritic cells and T cells, producing trophic factors and cytokines,

Ultrasound mapping of lymph node and subcutaneous metastases in patients with cutaneous melanoma: Results of a prospective multicenter study [PDF]
Background: Ultrasound (sonography, B-mode sonography, ultrasonography) examination improves the sensitivity in more than 25% compared to the clinical palpation, especially after surgery on the regional lymph node area.

Omental Vascularized Lymph Node Flap: A Radiographic Analysis [PDF]
Background Vascularized lymph node transfer is an increasingly popular option for the treatment of lymphedema. The omental donor site is advantageous for its copious soft tissue, well-defined collateral circulation, and large number of available nodes ...

Plasmacytoma of lymph nodes [PDF]
A case of primary plasmacytoma in a lymph node accompanied by IgG Kappa paraproteinemia is described. Eight months after the plasmacytoma's removal, the paraprotein was undetectable in the serum and the patient has remained well for a year. Abundant crystalline inclusions were present in the tumor and the immunoperoxidase technique was used to show ...

Esophageal Cancer Initially Thought to be Accompanied by a Solitary Metastasis to an Intrathoracic Paraaortic Lymph Node [PDF]
Esophageal cancers usually exhibit lymph-node metastases. Although a solitary lymph-node metastasis is occasionally found, the involvement of an intrathoracic paraaortic node is rare.

Secondary lymphoid organs provide a specialized microenvironment tailored to foster communication between cells of the innate and adaptive immune systems. These interactions allow immune cells to coordinate multilayered defense against pathogens. Until recently dendritic cells and macrophages were thought to comprise the main innate immune cell subsets

Morphologic patterns of nodal reactive hyperplasia in primary organ malignancy-architectural changes and evaluation by comparison with other morphological parameters [PDF]
Background: Reactive lymph node hyperplasia can exhibit morphological patterns I to VI. This study was done to evaluate lymph node hyperplasia, lymph node reactive patterns, lymph node metastasis and correlation with tumour stage, lymph node patterns and
