Description
The superior diaphragmatic lymph nodes are located on the superior thoracic surface of the respiratory diaphragm and lower thoracic wall. These nodes can be divided into three groups, including the anterior, lateral, and posterior groups and drain structures of the lower thoracic wall, respiratory diaphragm, pericardium, and liver (Standring, 2016).
