For the first time the occurrence of corpuscles of Vater-Pacini lacated in the hili of lymph nodes in patients with melanoma is described. As these corpuscles are pressure sensitive they participate in the regulation of blood and lymph flow inside the lymph node. By these means they may influence secondary deposition of melanoma cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
