Lymph nodes of the posterior iliac crest: CT and lymphographic observations

Radiology. 1990 Jun;175(3):687-9. doi: 10.1148/radiology.175.3.2343114.

Abstract

This report draws attention to a group of lymph nodes that lie in proximity to the posterior iliac crest. These lymph nodes are visualized at times on routine lymphographic studies and, when enlarged, are demonstrated on computed tomographic scans. These lymph nodes are at risk for involvement with Hodgkin disease and the non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
