Nodi lymphoidei pancreatici
The Nodi lymphoidei pancreatici ("pancreatic lymph nodes ") are lymph nodes in the abdominal cavity on the back and top of the pancreas . They are divided into two groups:
- Nll. pancreatici superiores ("upper pancreatic lymph nodes"), lie along the splenic vein
- Nll. pancreatici inferiores ("lower pancreatic lymph nodes")
The pancreatic lymph nodes are transit stations for the lymph from the body and tail of the pancreas, the spleen and the duodenum , the upper ones also from the great curvature of the stomach and the lower section of the common bile duct . The efferent lymphatic vessels flow via the celiac lymph nodes and the intestinal trunk to the cisterna chyli .
