| giant lymph node hyperplasia | Large benign, hyperplastic lymph nodes. The more common hyaline vascular subtype is characterised by small hyaline vascular follicles and interfollicular capillary proliferations. Plasma cells are often present and represent another subtype with the plasma cells containing IgM and IgA. (12 Dec 1998) |
| medial lacunar lymph node | A lymph node of the external iliac group located medial to the external iliac vein at the vascular lacuna. Synonym: nodus lacunaris medialis, medial lacunar node. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medulla of lymph node | The central portion of a node consisting of cordlike masses of lymphocytes, plasma cells, and macrophages in a stroma of reticular fibres separated by lymph sinuses; it reaches the surface of the node at the hilum. Synonym: medulla nodi lymphatici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle rectal lymph node | A lymph node along the middle rectal artery that receives afferents from the pararectal nodes and sends efferents to the internal iliac nodes. Synonym: middle rectal node, nodus rectalis medius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plastic lymph | Inflammatory lymph that has a tendency to become organised. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome | <syndrome> An acute febrile illness in children first described in Japan in the late 1960's. Referred to as mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome because of typical changes in the mucus membranes that line the lips and mouth. Enlarged and tender lymph glands are also seen. Synonym:: Kawasaki disease. (13 Nov 1997) |
| corpuscular lymph | Lymph containing a relatively large number of leukocytes, but comparatively little fibrinogen; such lymph does not form a good clot and manifests only a slight tendency to become organised. Synonym: corpuscular lymph. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortex of lymph node | The outer portion of the lymph node underneath its capsule, consisting of fibrous trabeculae separating densely packed masses of lymphocytes arranged in nodules and separated from the trabeculae and capsule by lymph sinuses. Synonym: cortex nodi lymphatici. (05 Mar 2000) |
