Supraclavicular lymph nodes
(Redirected from Virchow's Node)
Supraclavicular lymph nodes are lymph nodes located above the clavicle also known as collarbone]]
Virchow's nodes
- The supraclavicular lymph nodes on the left side are called Virchow's nodes.
- The left supraclavicular nodes (Virchow's node) receive lymphatic drainage of most of the body (from the thoracic duct) and enters the venous circulation via the left
Clinical significance
Since the lymphatic drainage from the abdomen is connected to the left side, malignancies of the internal organs metastasize is one of the left supraclavicular lymph node.
The metastasis may block the thoracic duct which leads to regurgitation into the surrounding Virchow's nodes
Rudolph Virchow
- Rudolf Virchow (1821–1902) was a German pathologist that first described the nodes.
- He also described the association of these nodes with gastric cancer in 1848.
