==Virchow's nodes==<br />
* The supraclavicular lymph nodes on the left side are called '''Virchow's nodes'''. <br />
* The left supraclavicular nodes (Virchow's node) receive [[lymphatic system|lymphatic]] drainage of most of the body (from the [[thoracic duct]]) and enters the venous circulation via the left <br />
[[subclavian vein]]. <br />
==Clinical significance==<br />
[[File:Virchow'sNodeMark.png|thumb|left|An enlarged Virchow's node as seen on CT]]<br />
Since the lymphatic drainage from the [[abdomen]] is connected to the left side, [[malignancy|malignancies]] of the internal organs metastasize is one of the left supraclavicular lymph node.[[File:Illu lymph chain02.jpg|thumb]]<br />
<br />
The metastasis may block the thoracic duct which leads to regurgitation into the surrounding Virchow's nodes<br />
<br />
==Rudolph Virchow==<br />
* [[Rudolf Virchow]] (1821–1902) was a [[Germany|German]] [[pathology|pathologist]] that first described the nodes.<br />
* He also described the association of these nodes with gastric cancer in 1848.<br />
