[Anatomy and topography of human bronchopulmonary lymph nodes]. 1982

A B Aubakirov

In 48 corpses of persons at the age 17-76 years (28 men and 20 women) anatomy and topography of the bronchopulmonary lymph nodes have been described. The nodes studies have been revealed by means of interstitial and direct injection of Gerota mass into the pulmonary tissues and lymphatic vessels with a subsequent macro- and micropreparation of the lymph nodes. Besides the bronchopulmonary lymph node subgroups described previously (posterior, inferior, anterior, superior), left and right interlobular bronchopulmonary lymph nodes have been revealed situating in the angles where the lobular bronchi branch off the left and right main bronchi, as well as on surfaces of the lobular bronchi turned towards the interlobular fissures. The left interlobular and upper bronchopulmonary lymph nodes are the most frequent occurrence. The left and right superior bronchopulmonary lymph nodes occur in a greater number than the lymph nodes in other subgroups. The size of the bronchopulmonary lymph nodes varies within a wide range. The form of the nodes depends on the place of their localization.
