Lymph Nodes Mediastinal Dorsal

Lymph nodes Mediastinal Dorsal (LMND) are a group of lymph nodes located in the back of the chest, at the level of the lungs and heart. They play an important role in the immune system as they help fight infections and tumors.

LMND are small nodules ranging in size from 2 to 10 mm, which are composed of lymphatic tissue and contain a large number of lymphocytes. They are located on the back of the lungs, behind the sternum, and are connected to the lymphatic vessels that carry lymph from the chest organs.

The functions of LMND include filtering lymph and destroying infectious agents such as bacteria and viruses. In addition, they may be involved in the formation of antibodies, which help fight infection.

However, if LMND increases in size or becomes painful, it may be a sign of a disease such as tuberculosis, lymphoma, or cancer. In this case, you must consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

In general, LMNDs play an important role in protecting the body from infections and tumors, so their health and function must be carefully assessed.

Lymphadenopathy is one of the most common manifestations occurring in patients 3–5 years of age. Within each age group, there are different types of lymphadenopathy. Under this name it is customary to describe damage to peripheral lymph nodes of the same cause of origin. Parasitic pathogenicity is accompanied by an increase not only in the peripheral, but also in the reactive one - the posterior mediastinum. In common parlance, this disease is called mediastinal lymphadenopathy in children. This process still continues to cause controversy among scientific researchers regarding their nature of occurrence, specific characteristics, as well as diagnosis and prescription of adequate therapy. Although some sources consider the tumor as a form of adenophlegmon, others do not distinguish mediastinitis as a separate concept. This condition is associated with an infectious-inflammatory process of damage to the lymphatic system and the posterior cavity of the intrathoracic space. The disease occurs in weakened children prone to frequent respiratory diseases or characterized by the presence of chronic viral infections. In addition, such a pathogenic nature is often recorded in persons with congenital immunodeficiency, as well as those who have received organ transplants
