The Linguatula serrata is a toungue-shaped parasite that infections carnivores or insectivorous reptile as final host and herbivores as intermediate ones. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of nymphal stages of L. serrata in mesenteric and mediastinal lymph nodes of camels which slaughtered in Tabriz slaughterhouse, Northwest of Iran. In this study, a total of 185 camels (121 ...

Background. The cavitating mesenteric lymph node syndrome (CMLNS) is a rare manifestation of celiac disease, with an estimated mortality rate of 50%. Specific infections and malignant lymphoma may complicate its clinical course and contribute to its poor prognosis. Diagnosing the underlying cause of CMLNS can be challenging. This is the first report on contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) findin...

This study identifies a dendritic cell (DC) subset that constitutively transports apoptotic intestinal epithelial cell remnants to T cell areas of mesenteric lymph nodes in vivo. Rat intestinal lymph contains two DC populations. Both populations have typical DC morphology, are major histocompatibility complex class II(hi), and express OX62, CD11c, and B7. CD4(+)/OX41(+) DCs are strong antigen-p...

Rhodococcus sputi caused tuberculosislike lymphadenitis of mesenteric lymph nodes in swine. This is the first study reporting that R. sputi can be a pathogen in swine.

castleman disease (cd) is a rare, lymphoproliferative disorder of uncertain etiology. we are reporting on two cases of castleman disease. both patients were female. this disease can be found wherever lymph nodes are present. we have reported two unusual cases of castleman disease. a 29- year old woman was referred for evaluation because of a cervical lymph node, weight loss and night sweats. th...

BACKGROUND Radiation therapy is an important cancer treatment modality in both adjuvant and definitive setting, however, the use of radiation therapy for elective treatment of regional lymph nodes is controversial for pancreatic cancer. No consensus on proper selection and delineation of subclinical lymph nodal areas in adjuvant or definitive radiation therapy has been suggested either conclusi...

BACKGROUND Ultrasound (US) or computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy of intra-abdominal lymph nodes is minimally invasive; however, percutaneous procedures are often difficult to perform because of the location and size of the lymph nodes. In many cases, this approach may result in insufficient specimens necessary to evaluate histopathology. In such cases, laparoscopic biopsy is useful to obtai...

The objective of this review of the literature is to detail the technical challenges associated with D3 lymphadenectomy for right-sided colon cancer, and to examine the terms used throughout the medical literature to describe the central lymph nodes. We conducted a review of the relevant English language literature, using the electronic search of the PubMed/Medline and Google Scholar databases....
