2024年6月19日 · Thoracic lymph nodes are divided into 14 stations as defined by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) 1, principally in the context of oncologic staging. For the purpose of prognostication, the stations may be grouped into seven zones.

2024年11月4日 · Mediastinal lymphadenopathy is the swelling of lymph nodes in the chest, specifically the mediastinum (the area between the lungs containing the heart, trachea, and esophagus). It is a sign of an underlying medical condition.

2010年6月8日 · Endoscopic Ultrasound with Fine Needle Aspiration can be performed of all the mediastinal nodes that that can be assessed from the oesophagus. In addition the left adrenal gland and the left liver lobe can be visualized. EUS particularly provides access to nodes in the lower mediastinum (station 7,8 and 9)

2023年7月24日 · Mediastinal lymph node sampling is critical to the initial diagnosis and staging of lung and esophageal cancers and lymphoma. Additionally, it is essential for detecting primary or recurrent nodal metastases in extrathoracic malignancies.

2024年3月14日 · The mediastinal lymph nodes are a large collection of lymph nodes located in the mediastinum of the thoracic cavity; the mediastinum refers to the region of the thoracic cavity located between the pleural sacs and contains all major thoracic organs, except for the lungs.

2025年1月25日 · There are two major groups of mediastinal lymph nodes: the anterior and posterior nodes. The anterior mediastinal lymph nodes are located posterior to the sternum and anterior to the heart. They surround the pericardium, thymus, and the major vessels of the heart.

2023年7月21日 · The parasternal lymph nodes are a group of four to five nodes residing at the anterior limit of the intercostal space, adjacent to the thoracic arteries. In addition to draining the breast, they also receive lymph from deep structures of the epigastrium, deeper parts of anterior thoracic wall and the cranial surface of the liver .

2024年9月9日 · Mediastinal lymph nodes are located in the anterior, middle, and posterior mediastinal compartments (figure 1 and figure 2). Most of the mediastinal nodes are in close approximation to the left innominate vein, the anterior surface of the trachea, and the circumference of the main bronchi, and inferior and to the left of the aortic arch [1].

2024年4月19日 · Anterior mediastinal masses encompass a diverse group of neoplastic and nonneoplastic lesions located within the mediastinum, presenting a diagnostic challenge due to their varied etiologies and potential for serious complications. These masses can arise from thymic, germ cell, lymphoid, or thyroid tissues, among others.

The anterior mediastinal lymph nodes are situated around the great vessels in the mediastinum. They may be described as three chains, including the right anterior, left anterior, and intermediate anterior mediastinal nodal chains.
