Difference between Lymph Gland and Lymph Node

LYMPH GLAND vs LYMPH NODE: NOUN

Small oval bodies of the lymphatic system, distributed along the lymphatic vessels, that are clustered in the armpits, groin, neck, chest and abdomen. They act as filters, with an internal honeycomb of connective tissue filled with lymphocytes and macrophages that collect and destroy bacteria, viruses and foreign matter from lymph. When the body is fighting an infection, these lymphocytes multiply rapidly and produce a characteristic swelling of the lymph nodes.
One of numerous roundish, somewhat resistant bodies found along the course of the lymphatic vessels and composed of a mass of round cells in a delicate fibrous network.
Any of the small bodies located along the vessels of the lymphatic system (in humans notably in the neck, armpits, and groin) that filter bacteria and foreign particles from lymph fluid. During infection, lymph nodes may become swollen with activated lymphocytes.
The source of lymph and lymphocytes

The neck is sawn from the chuck and trimmed of bone, fat and the large prescapular lymph gland.
Sometimes only a small part of the lymph gland has to be removed, which can be done under a local anaesthetic.
Then, out of nowhere, our youngest son, Josh, developed a tumor on his lymph gland.

Risk factors for patients with pelvic lymph node metastases following radical cystectomy with en bloc pelvic lymphadenectomy: concept of lymph node density.
Answer It should be classified as lymph node metastasis, if it has the form and smooth contour of a lymph node.
This means a piece of the lymph node or the entire lymph node is removed.
If more than one lymph node is taken, the biopsy is called a lymph node dissection.
The first lymph node in a lymph node bed to receive drainage from a tumor site.
As lymph filters through a lymph node, the lymphocytes in the node trap and kill pathogens.
Definitive diagnosis is by lymph node biopsy (removal of a lymph node for pathological examination).
CLND, complete lymph node dissection; SLNB, sentinel lymph node biopsy; VAS, Visual Analogue Scale.
This procedure is called a pelvic lymphadenectomy, lymph node dissection or lymph node sampling.
The axillary lymph node is coded as regional for CS lymph node coding.
