| nodi lymphatici tracheobronchiales superiores | Several large lymph nodes of the posterior mediastinal group located superior to the bronchi at their union with the trachea; receives lymph from inferior tracheobronchial lymph nodes and bronchopulmonary nodes; drain to paratracheal nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici tracheobronchiales superiores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodi lymphatici vesicales laterales | See: paravesical lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
