[Anatomy of the pelvic lymph nodes in the green marmoset].

The iliac lymphatic caudal nodes disposed along the external iliac artery as three chains (lateral, median or prevenous, and medial) were studied in 89 corpses of green monkeys. In two chains (lateral and retrovascular) the cranial iliac lymphatic nodes are adjacent to the common iliac artery. The number of nodes in each chain varies from one to five. One node of the group of caudal iliac nodes-femoral-is present almost in all preparations. The lymphatic system of the pelvis of the monkeys studied is arranged according to a common bilateral plan characteristic of all mammals.
