what is the size of lymph in diameter mm
The high specificity at 10 and 11 mmindicates that lymph nodes of this size are almostalways metastatic in this level.A study of level II lymph nodes shows that for thewhole population a minimum diameter of 8 mm givesa relatively high sensitivity and specificity of 81% and80%, respectively.
Lymph nodes are bean or oval shaped and range in size from a few millimeters to about 1â2 cm long. Each lymph node is surrounded by a fibrous capsule, and inside the lymph node the fibrous capsule extends to form trabeculae.he lymph node contains lymphoid tissue, i.e., a meshwork or fibers called reticulum with white blood cells enmeshed in it. The regions where there are few cells within the meshwork are known as lymph sinus. It is lined by reticular cells, fibroblasts and fixed macrophages.
