The hepatic lymph nodes (lymphoglandulæ hepaticæ) consist of the following groups: (a) hepatic on the stem of the hepatic artery and extending upward along the common bile duct between the two layers of the lesser omentum as far as the porta hepatis; the cystic gland a member of this group is placed near the neck of the gall-bladder; (b) subpyloric four or five in number in close relation to the bifurcation of the gastroduodenal artery in the angle between the superior and descending parts of the duodenum; an outlying member of this group is sometimes found above the duodenum on the right gastric (pyloric) artery.
