胸部淋巴结数目众多,分布较广,目前对其分群及命名尚无统一意见。Nohl和 Weinberg 等对胸腔内淋巴结、淋巴回流进行过研究,但未能详说分布情况。我们认为胸部淋巴结分群应与纵隔的解剖学分区统一起来,分为上纵隔淋巴结、下纵隔淋巴结和胸壁淋巴结三大部分,再根据各大区内所在器官附近的淋巴结分别定名,并检查其位置、数量和大小。关于肺周围淋巴结已有过报导。 There are many thoracic lymph nodes, which are widely distributed. At present there is no unified opinion on their clustering and naming. Nohl and Weinberg et al. Studied intrathoracic lymph nodes and lymphatic drainage, but failed to describe the distribution. We think that the thoracic lymph node cluster should be unified with the anatomic division of the mediastinum and divided into three parts: the upper mediastinum lymph node, the lower mediastinum lymph node and the thoracic lymph node. According to the lymph nodes near the organ in each major area, Quantity and size. Peripheral lymph nodes have been reported.
