The anatomy of the lymph nodes of the human mediastinum was studied in 984 cases over a period of 17 years. Some findings in past publications were confirmed, but new data on nomenclature and location were obtained. Further, it has been possible to describe more clearly some groups and chains that are poorly defined in the classic literature, in the Nomina Anatomica and by more recent authors. Lymph gland groups have been found which have not apparently been previously described, so that the author proposes a new topographic division of the mediastinum which allows a more accurate localisation within the thoracic cavity. Twelve paired lymph node centres are defined (11 symmetric, one asymetric) and one single centre.
在17年的时间里，对984例人体纵隔淋巴结的解剖结构进行了研究。过去出版物中的一些发现得到了证实，但在命名和位置方面获得了新的数据。此外，对于一些在经典文献、《解剖学名词》以及近期作者的研究中定义不明确的淋巴结群和链，现在能够更清晰地进行描述。还发现了一些此前显然未被描述过的淋巴结群，因此作者提出了一种新的纵隔地形学划分方法，以便在胸腔内进行更精确的定位。确定了12个成对的淋巴结中心（11个对称，1个不对称）和1个单个中心。
