LYMPHOGRAPHIC DEMONSTRATION OF THE INFERIOR EPIGASTRIC LYMPHATICS: A CASE REPORT

Abstract
The inferior epigastric lymph nodes and vessels were demonstrated by foot lymphography in a patient without obstruction of the main iliac lymph flow. Histologic examination of the ipsilateral iliac lymph nodes showed normal findings. In patients scheduled for lymphadenectomy with control films taken during the operation, the inferior epigastric nodes may, unless recognized preoperatively, be mistaken for internal iliac nodes, with the tesult that the surgeon searches in vain for non-existent pelvic lymph nodes.
