Many disease, neoplastic, infective, inflammatory, autoimmune result in abdominal lymphadenopathy. Because there is a complex pattern of intercommunications between regional groups of lymph nodes, it is usual for lymphadenopathy to involve several contiguous or even widely separated nodule chains. The abdominal lymph nodes are empirically divided into groups: 1. Retrocrural 2. Retroperitoneal 3. Porta hepatis 4. Gastrohepatic ligament 5. Celiac and superior meseneteric artery 6. Preaortic and paraaortic 7. Pancreaticoduodenal 8. Perisplenic 9. Periumbilical 10. Mesenteric Aims and Objectives 1. To evaluate lymph nodes in different abdominal pathologies i.e. group of lymphnodes involved, morphology, size etc. 2. To assess the size of lymph nodes in different abdominal pathologies.
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.
