| pancreaticosplenic lymph nodes | Lymph nodes of the pancreatic tail and spleen, receiving afferents from both organs plus the greater curvature of the stomach; they drain to the coeliac lymph nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici pancreticolienales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gastroduodenal lymph nodes | Group of nodes surrounding the pylorus, draining lymph into the right gastric or the right gastro-omental lymph nodes; it is divided into three smaller groups: suprapyloric lymph nodes, above the pylorus; subpyloric lymph nodes, below the pylorus; and retropyloric lymph nodes, behind the pylorus. Synonym: nodi lymphatici pylorici, gastroduodenal lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paramammary lymph nodes | Several lymph nodes on the lateral side of the mammary gland that receive afferents from the mammary gland and send efferents to the axillary pectoral group of lymph nodes. The paramammary lymph nodes are commonly considered as part of the pectoral group of axillary nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici paramammarii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pararectal lymph nodes | Nodes located on either side of the rectum; they send efferents to the middle rectal and superior rectal nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici pararectales, nodi lymphatici anorectales, anorectal lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parasternal lymph nodes | A number of small nodes that lie along the course of the internal thoracic vessels; lymph enters these nodes from the anterior intercostal spaces, pericardium, diaphragm, liver and medial mammary gland; the efferent vessels pass upward to join the bronchomediastinal trunk of the same side. Synonym: nodi lymphatici parasternales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parauterine lymph nodes | Nodes on either side of the uterus draining lymph to the internal iliac nodes and to the lumbar nodes via lymphatic vessels following the ovarian arteries. Synonym: nodi lymphatici parauterini. (05 Mar 2000) |

| central group of axillary lymph nodes | Nodes located around the midportion of the axillary vein; they receive afferent vessels from the lateral (brachial), pectoral, and subscapular groups of axillary nodes and send efferent vessels to the apical group of axillary node's. (05 Mar 2000) |
