GM Lee, JT Stowell, K Pope… - American Journal of …, 2021 - Am Roentgen Ray Soc
OBJECTIVE. This article reviews thoracic lymphatic pathways and tributaries, discusses
lymphatic anatomic variants and their clinical implications, and emphasizes common
patterns of thoracic lymphadenopathy from extrapulmonary malignancies. CONCLUSION.
Recognition of common patterns and pathways of thoracic lymphatic drainage can help
identify the site of tumor origin and allow a more focused examination of disease extent, both
of which are important for disease prognosis and management.
