Cape Lymph Node

The Cape lymph node (lat. Nodus lymphaticus promontoriae, also lat. Ganglion lymphaticum promontoriale) is a paired lymph node located on the border between the lower and middle third of the left leg of a person. It is an integral part of the levator promontory, which forms an elongated connective tissue strip extending from the medial malleolus to the popliteal region around the medial edge of the scrotum. The levator cape is divided into two separate groups of fibers that pass between the two sides of the lymphatics and further into the eminences of the arch and sole of the foot. The blood vessels passing through the lymph node of the Thoughts in the levator capitis are similar to other fibers of the levator, however they carry arterial non-venular blood. The lymphatic sinuses run parallel to the tibialis posterior tendon and run posteriorly to the popliteal lymph node.
