| pancreatic lymph nodes | Nodes draining the body and tail of the pancreas; they are subdivided into two groups: inferior pancreatic lymph nodes (nodi lymphatici pancreatici inferiores ), located along the inferior pancreatic artery; superior pancreatic lymph nodes (nodi lymphatici pancreatici superiores ), located along the splenic artery near the origin of its pancreatic branches. Synonym: nodi lymphatici pancreatici. (05 Mar 2000) |

| 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) |
| mandibular lymph node | One of the facial lymph nodes located by the facial artery near the point it crosses the mandible. Synonym: nodus mandibularis, mandibular 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) |
| paratracheal lymph node | Nodes along the sides of the trachea in the neck and in the posterior mediastinum; receive drainage of superior (and inferior) tracheobranchial (nodes, trachea and oesophagus); drain to bronchomediastinal lymphatic trunk(s), thoracic duct. Synonym: nodi lymphatici paratracheales, tracheal lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
