Description

The paravaginal lymph nodes are located around the vagina. The most superior nodes of this group accompany the uterine artery and their efferents drain into the interior and external iliac nodes. Intermediate nodes accompany the vaginal artery and drain into the internal iliac nodes. The lowest nodes drain lymph from the vulva and perineal skin, which passes to the superficial inguinal lymph nodes.
