| RLNL | regional lymph node lymphocytes |

| RLND | retroperitoneal lymph node dissection |
| lymph nodes | Small, bean-shaped organs located throughout the lymphatic system. The lymph nodes store special cells that can trap cancer cells or bacteria that are traveling through the body in lymph. Also called lymph glands. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| lymph nodes of abdominal organs | The numerous lymph nodes receiving lymph from abdominal organs located in association with the visceral branches of the aorta. Synonym: nodi lymphatici abdominis viscerales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lymph nodes of elbow | Two groups of nodes, superficial and deep, lying along the basilic vein above the medial epicondyle; they receive afferents from the ulnar side of the forearm and hand, and send efferents to the brachial nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici cubitales, epitrochlear nodes, lymph nodes of elbow. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Babes' nodes | Collections of lymphocytes in the central nervous system found in rabies. (05 Mar 2000) |
| big axillary nodes and normal breasts | <radiology> Consider: lymphoma, leukaemia, rheumatoid arthritis (12 Dec 1998) |
| ranvier's nodes | Regularly spaced gaps in the myelin sheaths of peripheral axons. Ranvier's nodes allow saltatory conduction, that is, jumping of impulses from node to node, which is faster and more energetically favourable than continuous conduction. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mandibular nodes | 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) |
| parietal nodes | The lymph nodes draining the walls of the abdomen or of the pelvis. Synonym: nodi lymphatici parietales, parietal nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| visceral nodes | The lymph nodes draining the viscera of the abdomen or of the pelvis. Synonym: nodi viscerales, visceral nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retropyloric nodes | A group of lymph nodes located behind the pylorus. Synonym: nodi retropylorici, retropyloric nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| milkers' nodes | An infection of cows' udders by pseudocowpox virus, a member of the Poxviridae, that is transmitted to the fingers and hands of milkers, producing nodules and lymphangitis, and occasionally widespread papular or papulovesicular eruptions; human infection is transferable to uninfected cows. Synonym: milkers' nodes, paravaccinia, pseudocowpox. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Haygarth's nodes | <anatomy> Exostoses from the margins of the articular surfaces and from the periosteum and bone in the neighborhood of the joints of the fingers, leading to ankylosis and associated with lateral deflection of the fingers toward the ulnar side, which occur in rheumatoid arthritis. Synonym: Haygarth's nodosities. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Heberden's nodes | Exostoses about the size of a pea or smaller, found on the terminal phalanges of the fingers in osteoarthritis, which are enlargements of the tubercles at the articular extremities of the distal phalanges. Synonym: Heberden's nodosities, Rosenbach's disease, tuberculum arthriticum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| singer's nodes | Small, circumscribed, bilateral, beadlike enlargements on the vocal cords caused by overuse or abuse of the voice; often reversible by voice therapy. Synonym: singer's nodes, singer's nodules, teachers' nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| supraclavicular nodes | <anatomy> The nodes located above the collar bone in the area of the neck. (09 Oct 1997) |
